My Site Was Hacked

If you believe your site has been compromised, it is important to act quickly and calmly. This guide outlines the appropriate steps to take if you suspect a security incident.

Last updated on 18 Feb, 2026

A security incident may include:

  • Unexpected content changes

  • Unauthorized posts or pages

  • Suspicious redirects

  • Unknown administrator accounts

  • Malware warnings in browsers

  • Login issues despite correct credentials

  • Spam emails being sent from your domain

Step 1: Immediately Report the Incident

Contact the Frame Support Team Immediately.

Phone Number:

1-877-518-0819 (Toll Free)

Email Address:

support@adventistconnect.org

Include:

  • Your website address

  • A brief description of what you are seeing

  • When you first noticed the issue

Do not attempt to fix it yourself unless instructed. Early reporting helps protect your site.

Step 2: Change Your Password

As a precaution:

  • Change your WordPress password immediately

  • Use a strong, unique password

  • If you use the same password elsewhere, change it there too

If other administrators have access, ask them to change their passwords as well.

Step 3: Do Not Make Major Changes

Avoid:

  • Deleting content

  • Removing users

  • Installing new plugins

  • Restoring backups on your own

Making large changes can make it harder to investigate the issue.

What Happens Next?

Once reported, the platform team may:

  • Review site activity

  • Check for unauthorized access

  • Restore a clean backup if necessary

  • Secure the site

You will be notified if further action is required.

How to Reduce Future Risk

  • Use strong, unique passwords

  • Store passwords in a secure password manager

  • Limit user access by assigning roles carefully

  • Report unusual activity quickly

A centralized multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution is planned for future implementation to provide additional protection.
