    “hellofromhony” – look familiar? This is the domain that’s redirecting traffic from lots of sites to other spam/dangerous/dating sites. Most affected sites have one of several plugins in common, including Yuzo Related Posts and Yellow Pencil.

    It appears the YP plugin has made it possible for some third party to update your database and change your website’s address to hellofromhony.com with a redirection script. That site then redirects your visitors elsewhere.

    First step in regaining access is to update the siteurl and home entries in the wp_options table to your site’s proper address. Then, you’ll be able to log into your WP dashboard and begin proper recovery/restore.
