Weird URLs in Google Search Console

[vat777]

Hello SEO experts,

I am seeking some understanding and advice on my situation with a website. I created a simple website (10 pages) 6 months ago.

3-4 months ago, I noticed that some weird URLs were appearing in Google Search Console, for example:

<my_domain>/mjpze-Wharton-Barracks-98145/Collectibles/
<my_domain>/yvqcn-FA-BORIS-VALLEJO-SERIES-COMIC-81469/Collectibles/
<my_domain>/xwura-PUBLICITY-PHOTO-AA-ACTRESS-252171/Contemporary-Now/
<my_domain>/xzpmkr-Snowy-movie-figures-New-MOVIE-FIGURES-57214/Collectibles/
<my_domain>/znkjm-PREMIUM-COPY-TYPE-UK-ORDER-OF-665961/Collectibles/
<my_domain>/ptols-Incentive-Edition-Lady-Death-Chaos-Rules-380151/Modern-Age-Now/

And these URLs are thousands .

All those URLs are not indexed (404), but the volume is scary.

Has anyone had the same issue? How did you solve it?

I checked many forums, some saying the website was hacked, some it was not. But I have no real understanding of why it is there and how I can fix it.

Looks like your site been hacked

Did you check if the URLs exist?

Maybe it's your theme that came with these especially if you imported demo data. If not then you might have been hacked.

It seems your website might have been attacked by someone who added lots of strange web addresses. You'll need to check your site's security and clean up these weird links to stop them from causing trouble

No, those URLs don't exist.

Maybe it's your theme that came with these especially if you imported demo data. If not then you might have been hacked.

Doesn't seem that way. I created a website on the same hosting, using the same theme and the same security tools as many others my websites, And it is looks fine.

I also observed that all these weird URLs are coming from the Yandex Bot:
For now, I disallowed the bot, and hopefully, it will improve my situation.
