Wrong site URL in emails

    A few months ago, my website at https://www.constructivetranslations.com was hacked. I got in touch with a good developer and paid some money to get the old version back and secure it all properly.

    However, I got an email today about the wordpress update saying: Howdy! Your site at https://www.saf1.co.za has been updated automatically to WordPress 4.2.3.

    I’ve never seen or heard of that saf1.co.za and the site is empty, as far as I can tell my website is working fine and nothing is directing there, I’ve checked all my links and I can’t see where it is coming from. Has anyone got any idea, where that website is coming from or where I can change it?

    Thanks for your help in advance!

  • Hello,
    Strange. Sounds like your email address somehow became associated with that site.

    There is nothing wrong with your constructivetranslations site?

    Doing a lookup on the odd domain:
    https://www.whois.com/whois/saf1.co.za

    Shows contact information and more:
    Registrant:
    Theo Engelbrecht
    Email: email@teclogix.co.za
    Tel: +27.219451292
    Fax: None

    Perhaps you should contact that person to see if they are having issues.

    Good luck!

    Thanks for the advice. I’ve emailed them, hopefully we’ll figure it out. Meanwhile I’ll just ignore his messages.
