Can you lose your traffic if your website gets hacked/compromised? And if so, can you regain it back easily?

Can you lose your SEO ranking and traffic if your website gets compromised by, let's say, a malware from a WordPress plugin?

And if so, how do you get your traffic back? Will Google actually remember your website and bring your ranking back to where it was before you got hacked?

Just a bit confused about how Google ranking works...
