Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

SOOOOOO, I was just looking at my profile here at WA, and saw that I had gotten a feedback comment on my retiredneedingmoremoney.com site, and thought "OK great - maybe the ban on getting more feedback or comments on my site has been lifted..."

And when I read the first sentence of the person's feedback, and she said:

"The first post on your page says HaCKeD BY........ "

And THEN the nice person said, "AND when you have an article ABOUT CIALIS...."

I said to myself "WHAT??????? Cialis article on MY RETIREMENT SITE????WHAT????"

So THEN I went to the dashboard within WA for my retirement site, AND THERE IT WAS - YOU HAVE BEEN HACKED JUST FOR FUN!!!

And THEN an article about CIALIS!!!!!!! And again I say --- WHAT????????

I immediately TRASHED both posts, and am NOW posting this post about HACKING!!!

So has THIS happened to anyone ELSE at WA????
