‘All About Apples’ post
-
Hi. One of my posts seems to have been hacked. All the links within the post opened what appears to be an error message writen in Chinese(?) script. I ‘trashed’ it for fear it might contain a virus. Can you please look into this? Thank you.

Hi. Thanks for getting back to me! Since I first reached out I have found a dozen posts where this problem is occuring. It appears to be posts where there is a link to another blog post of mine. Here are 4 links to some examples. If you need more, I can send the other links. Appreciate your help. https://frenchgardenerdishes.wordpress.com/2016/10/17/21-fall-recipe-round-up/

Your site’s URL is https://frenchgardenerdishes.wordpress.com/
Those internal links are for the custom domain, frenchgardenerdishes.com. You used to have that domain registered with us, but you cancelled it in September last year. Someone else now owns that domain, so those links are going to their site now, not to yours.
So nothing has been hacked. Those are still the exact same links that you originally added to those posts. But you no longer own the domain those links are pointing to.
The only way to fix this is to edit those posts, and replace the domain in each of those links with your free WordPress.com address. Then they’ll link to the correct posts on your site again.

Thank you so much for your help. I had no idea this could happen and I can now fix the problem.
