  I’ve been hacked somehow, about 5 websites, all of them redirect to a hackers landing page. I can’t get in to the admin portal on any of them. Unfortunately, I haven’t made any backups.

  I thought at first the hosting server was comprimised but it isn’t so there’s nothing they can do about it (hostgator).

  I heard most hacks come from themes, plugins so I deleted all of them (except the theme it’s on).

  No idea how this happened, passwords are all auto generated and tough to hack, all of them running the latest version of wordpress.

  Any ideas??

  Hi there,

  It sounds like your sites were on the self-hosted version of WordPress, called WordPress.org. Those sites are not on our servers, so we cannot do anything about this. If your hosting provider is unable to help you’ll need to please post in the self-hosted forums instead:
