    Hi there,
    someone has highjacked my website. When you go to the home page there are big messages blinking and a voice saying things. Something that tries to appear as mircrosoft.

    I had a new user appear for my website this morning. Although new users are disabled.
    I have deleted this user and have changed my password. Not sure, could that have been the person trying to highjack the page?

    I have deleted the history in my browser and all and it now seems to be gone.
    Or what else do I need to do?

    I’m hosting with crazy domains. Do I have to contact them as well?

    Cheers
    Simone

    They are the ones you should contact, period. As your site is not hosted on our servers we have no way to help you with this, as we have no control over or access to your site.

    I also suggest you take a look at the documentation for the open source WordPress software you’re using on hardening the site’s security to prevent issues like this, and also consider investing in a security plugin like Jetpack to help protect your site:
