Weird URLs in Google Search Console

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.

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.
