Is my site hacked?

[krishnacode360]

I have registered an expired domain and installed Wordpress on it.
But some unwanted url's are indexed with some affliate url's. But they are not on Wordpress posts or pages. WHere can I find those pages ?
SO my site hacked?

All the data of pages, posts and settings is in your database. You can send me the URL I can take a look.

Install the wordfence plugin and scan your site. You should get some information that will be useful.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/

Hope that helps!

Did you install a nulled theme? The chances of you getting hacked are high if you did.

As a wordpress developer, chances are that the spam you are receiving is from the blog page. This page is automatically installed as Wordpress is a blogging platform. I 100% agree with installing wordfence as it alerts you to any messages or attempted sign ins to your site and even provides the IP address of the attacker. You can then block the users IP address from your site completely. I have found that by shutting down the blog comments, it eliminates 90% of the spam you would receive.

Do you mean results are showing in serps?
If will be indexed pages from prior to the Domain expiring.
What happens when you click on the links? Do you get a 404?
If yes then you can just redirect all 404's to the homepage or access WMT and remove the pages there.

Thanks for your reply. They are not redirecting to 404. They are live pages with huge number of casino affliate links

it looks like https://mydomain. com redirected to http://new-ptc.biz/
And it is about PTC site referals

In that case then yes, you may have been hacked/have suspicious files on your server.

Try scanning your site with these:

I have installed a free theme from Wordpress. I have scanned my site with Wordfence and it says "Congratulations! No security problems were detected by Wordfence. "

Update your plugins and remove the outdated ones.

I have installed only 2 plugins and they are updated

If you have also updated your wordpress then its fine. Change all passwords too.

Do the pages exist on your website? Check indexed pages on google and check your database.

 

[ridersark]

check your .htaccess and see if any 301 redirection took place without your knowledge

 

[TRUE Media Partner]

Check your .htaccess file first. Then look for files with recent modification date. If there is no any suspicious code or files, check site folders with AI-bolit scanner (https://www.revisium.com/aibo/).

 

[lunaraurora]

try this tool:

You need verify your site in Google webmaster tool to fix this issue.
