[Support request] Blog Excerpt has been hacked

[Brian]

The content of a blog excerpt has been hacked and modified but the content within the blog itself has not been tampered with. How would I go about fixing the excerpt?

[Tom]

It’s likely that you’re entire site has been hacked, and the malicious code is just filtering the excerpt to show their stuff.

Here are some articles on what you can do:

Your hosting company might be able to identify the problem files as well.
