 * We received a notification that the website [https://agneessens-art.be/](https://agneessens-art.be/)
   is being used to create suburls in a phishing action. I installed Cerber, and
   when I scan the website I get a result that says that Divi has some altered files.
   Could this be the issue for the “attack”?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwebsite-under-attack-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there,
    1. To ensure security, change all passwords linked to the website.
    2. Review the user list for any unfamiliar accounts.
    3. Block public access to the site by adding _deny from all_ in the .htaccess file.
    4. Get in touch with your web hosting provider; they might offer assistance.
    5. If hosting support doesn’t resolve the issue, consider hiring a WordPress specialist
       for a thorough audit, security enhancements, and hardening of the site.
 * Enjoy!
