Website got hacked

  • Unknown's avatar

    My website has been hacked. I had a page called contact me, and all of the text on that page showed as a foreign language. I deleted that page and tried to rebuild it and what I rebuilt is not showing now. I also had a client tell me that when they went to my site, they got a message that said the site site has been compromised and they should not enter any personal data. How do I contact tech support?

    WP.com: Unknown
    Jetpack: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

  • Hi there,

    Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host your site on our WordPress.com managed hosting.

    To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions.

    Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.

    You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, using our migration plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcom-migration/ and the site would need to be on the business plan.

    As it stands now, we cannot help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

    The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help. Thanks!
