Is my website hacked? Random Comments Keep Posting

  • [ Moderator note: moved to How-to and Troubleshooting. ]

    I just started receiving many different comments through 2 of my wordpress sites, comments that have nothing to do with my site. Sample of what I am receiving. All comments seem to coming from Russia. I immediately bought and downloaded Ithemesecurity but am still receiving these random comments. Have I been hacked? The comments sound like a conversation between several people about random topics. How can I prevent this? I received up to 50 of these comments today.

    Are you using a anti spam plugin? I really like “antispam bee”. I set it do delete spam after 10 days so it doesn’t build up.

    In short, you’re not hacked, you’re just an easy target.
