 * Hi,
 * I have been advised by Google that there is a hacker on my website. Ive looked
   at the Web Console and someone has managed to create themselves as an owner and
   verified it. How do I ind the public_html directory to remove the html they have
   added along with various other URLs?!
 * Why do people do this!!!!
