My blog would appear to have been hacked

  • Unknown's avatar

    On a near daily basis I use webmaster tools to fetch pages from my blog. over the last couple of days I have received an message saying redirected when I have tried to fetch pages from the web via the Google bot.

    Clicking the redirect link gives me the following code, which I have to say, I don’t understand but I do see that it says X-hacker and sends people to a different website. Does anyone know how I can deal with this and remove the redirect? Thanks ~ Clive

    OMG! That’s happening to me too. Where is that private support thread had with Shawna?

    That X-hacker line is intended as a joke, since most WordPress.com users don’t see it, and those who do might be more technically inclined. That does *not* mean you’ve been hacked – it actually doesn’t really mean anything.

    Your site at classicalgenesis.wordpress.com is fine. If you are experiencing any difficulties with it, however, please let me know.
