  Hello!

  I think my website was hacked. I didn’t write blogposts for a long time and today my boyfriend noticed that all my posts were replaced with the text: ‘Tragic news about the site moderator.’ And if I go on the post, there will be this same text with a link attached. I didn’t access the link, so I don’t know what it does.
  I didn’t write this! I am the site moderator and nothing tragic has happened to me!
  Can you help me please resolving this problem? I don’t really want to shut down my blog because I intend to write posts here in the future.
  Thank you!

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