  We can only help with sites running on the wordpress.com platform. So first things first: what is the URL of your site?

  Hi! This site isn’t hosted on our servers (see this) but can you try contacting your host and getting a backup restored?

  After you’ve addressed the hack itself, you’ll want to take steps to secure your installation, or you’d be welcome to move your content to our servers so we can take care of your security going forward.

  If you opt to keep your installation of WordPress at another host, you’ll want to use the correct forums going forward:

  Good luck!
