I created a site two days ago. When I checked Google today, I saw that unknown pages from my website are indexed by Google. I checked the pages. All of them are Chinese pages with random text and images. I deleted everything and reinstalled WordPress. Do you have any idea how the site could have been hacked? I think the hacker doesn't know my WordPress credentials but injected random HTML pages somehow. Please tell me how I can avoid such issues in the future.
 
Hackers really login from admin page, so creds don't matter. Check with your hosting why it happened.
 
It might be your hosting server that is compromised or a bruteforce on your wp panel.
if you didn't use a nulled theme of course

Again, the site is hacked. What can I do now? Should I change the server? I use Cloudflare too.
 
It won't be an issue unless they havn't recieved any credentials you attached to other plugins or themes. You just find the bug and fix it.
 
Next time try to use a protection plugin like wp cerber security.
