  The HOME-Button on my site inotes4you.wordpress.com was hacked.
  Clicking on it opens a chinese website inotes4you.com.
  What can I do?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  There’s no indication that your site has been hacked. When I check that link myself I see that it simply points to your site (inotes4you.wordpress.com).

  If you’re still being redirected to that other website (inotes4you.com), please clear your browser’s cache and try again. Here’s how to do that:

  There’s also the possibility that your browser or system might’ve been infected. If that’s the case, then I recommend using an anti-malware software to check both your browser and your system.

  Thanks a lot for your reply.
  You’re right. I changed the link to inotes4you.wordpress.com and now readers won’t see that Chinese website after clicking on ‘HOME’.
  Have a nice day.
