  Any changes of your homepage with foreign content.

  News from other people that your domain name is sending junk emails.

  Always keep back up of your website!  

Let's see what action we can take in order to deal with any attack on our website, which is developed in Wordpress CMS.

  A great action is to update your WordPress. If for any reason you were late or forgot to update your Wordpress version, now it should be done on time. There is a risk of re-installing a version that is unlikely to be supported in the near future.
  Once your WordPress version is updated, all plugins, modules, components that your website uses should be updated too.
  After these actions, the codes that your website uses must be strong enough in order to avoid corresponding attack in the future.
