I just recently received an email from google saying I have some pages that look like a phishing attack. I honestly haven't seen nothing change within my files nor i believe i have added anything suspicious.

The email is the following

Dear site owner or webmaster of thewrestlingrevolution.com,

We recently discovered that some pages on your site look like a possible phishing attack, in which users are encouraged to give up sensitive information such as login credentials or banking information. We have removed the suspicious URLs from Google.com search results and have begun showing a warning page to users who visit these URLs in certain browsers that receive anti-phishing data from Google.

Below are one or more example URLs on your site which may be part of a phishing attack:

Any idea how I can look into this??

thanks!

Hello cero2k, The link suggests your wordpress theme was hacked. This is common in some versions of Wordpress. It is very important to stay up to date with Wordpress versions as they plug security holes in them as they are released. Hackers are constantly attempting to find exploits in poplar programs such as these. Once found, the programmers respond by recoding the exploited areas and issuing a new patch release. Also, changing your password regularly is a good idea. I would suggest monthly. This will protect your hosting account from infiltration. It is not a good idea to use the original password from a year ago. 99% of all hacks come from insecure passwords, keeping passwords too ling, or not updating versions of software used. This is something you want to adhere to for keeping your site secure. If you need any further details on the incident, you will want to contact our Live Support team and they may be able to see a bit more information. You can contact them at [email protected] Best Regards, Scott M
