I had a scary experience with my website that I want to share as a warning. I asked for help making my WordPress site look better in a LinkedIn group, and someone offered to assist, saying it wasn’t responsive. I gave them admin access, but after just one day, I found changes I didn’t make. New pages I didn’t recognize had been created, my menus were altered, and my logo was removed. Thankfully, they didn’t delete anything! They’d only hidden my pages and menus, so I was able to restore everything. I’ve now removed their access. I think this person may have been trying to take over my site.

This was after only 1 day—who knows what they might have done with more time? Please, be extremely cautious about who you trust with admin access to your site, even if they seem helpful. Lesson learned the hard way!
