Website is now a spam site and i don’t know how to get it back
-
I hope I described that right but it says ‘the site cannot be accessed’. When you go to the URL it shows none of my website and is just an ad site now. I can’t log into the admin page either. I think I got hacked. My website is divisionbyzeros.com
WP.com: Yes
Jetpack: Yes
Correct account: YesThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

Sorry it took me a long while to finally figure out what was wrong–I thought it was a DNS issue and it took me about a week or so of flushing and stuff to realize my website actually was infected with malware through what I assume to be a bunch of outdated plugins and themes, which was entirely my fault for not staying on top of things. Malware-detecting sites like sucuri thought my website was absolutely fine so it was really hard for me to come to that conclusion.
The only way I did was that a Bluehost admin mentioned that my issue sounded like malware, and ran a scan that I could see the results in with cPanel, and the scan said it found like 500 infected files? So I was like woah U__U. But I’m not really website savvy and had to do some learning and ended up installing the plugin Wordfence and did a scan. It was really helpful, but it did take an hour or so for me to go through every compromised file and either delete it or edit the file in the cPanel…
Fingers crossed though! I’m hopeful everything is fixed now but I’ve been dealing with this for a while!
