Strange title? Well… yeah! Today, I was informed that my website has been hacked. I think the main reason was through the contact form. Let’s just say I am very upset right now. I thought this website was secure. However, for a while, I have been trying to block brute force attacks and apparently even the secure measures I’ve taken still hasn’t stopped my website from being hacked. The reason behind finding out that this was happening was my hosting provider disabling my email services out the blue.
So… this post is the unofficial contact form for the website. I don’t trust the plugin I was using after I added reCaptcha. I didn’t see the checkbox and the plugin stated that it was going to be “behind the scenes” but after what happened, I don’t trust “behind the scenes”. All of this mess started without my knowledge “behind the scenes”. Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of emails sent from my website that I had no clue was sent. This is madness! Honestly, I don’t understand why this happens. Pourquoi!!!!!
JULY 7TH 2023 UPDATE: I disabled comments on all pages and posts because I got hacked into again after the date of this post, causing a big mess. I’m not sure of what I’m going to do for a replacement as of right now.
