Account might be hacked?
-
Im trying to log into my admin to edit my website and it popped up saying that it might have been compromised? And now when I go to the site it says 403 forbidden. Can anyone point me in the direction on how to fix this?
-
Hey there!
What is the URL of your website or what is the name of your account on the WordPress.com platform?
-
The 403 is likely coming from your host, for what it’s worth. I’d recommend getting in touch with them first. We don’t use that here very often at all, so I’m guessing your site is hosted elsewhere?
If so, you’ll want to take steps to secure your installation, or you’d be welcome to move your content to our servers.

The website is lisachaneydesign.com
And thank you, ill reach out to them as well. I’m using bluehost per a friends suggestion. I appreciate you getting back with me, I might be switching over if they can’t help me figure it out
-
Thanks for confirming; your site is indeed hosted on Bluehost, not on WordPress.com.
