[CMS] Error after I didn't change anything

[mudechevy]

This is what I get only on my CMS. It was fine before and now this. What could have caused this without me changing any settings?

Are all sections, categories and articles published?

Can you access articles directly through the AdminCP OK?

When I click the articles through the admincp I get this at the top of the page

swyxcxcgrprm, http://vuleclctkcxx.com/]vuleclctkcxx[/URL], [link=http://nmuvepeudych.com/]nmuvepeudych[/link], http://lepnazxqwcok.com/" />

That doesn't look good. Have you checked your access_logs and looked for anything unexpected in there? It almost looks like you were hacked... but only on the CMS part of your site? Weird.

I don't know much about the logs./ I'm a noob. lol But I did see this. Apparently an unregistered user was able to delete something. I know I had all my settings secure.

I don't know what I'm supposed to be seeing on that page. However, if you are getting that text at the top of your pages, then something is not right. You may have to ask your host for help figuring out if you were compromised. Also, look for any strange file in your system - maintenance > diagnostics > suspect file versions

This is going to drive me nuts. I tried deleting the article in the database. It looked something like this There were 2 articles that were like this. The front page and this one. I can access the other articles directly, just not through the front page of the site.

I tried rewriting the article and I still get this

I don't see anything out of the ordinary under suspect file versions. I don't have a db backup with the articles as they are fairly new..(yes, I learned my lesson) but I can rewrite the 2 that were deleted if I could figure out how to undo what ever they did.

I would put in a support ticket and see if support can delete the articles correctly for you.
