How to Find Hacked Files

    Recently, I noticed that when I search for my name, Kristen Domonell, on Google, a strange Oakley link now appears in the spot where my website, kristendomonell.com, always had. Here’s how that search result looks:

    Oakley – Men’s & Women’s Sunglasses, Goggles, & Apparel
    sdis07.fr/
    Sunglasses, Goggles, Apparel, and More Available at the Oakley Official Website.

    I ran a Google Search Console scan, and a couple of foreign links appeared:

    kristendomonell.com/discontinued-oakley-sunglasses/ and kristendomonell.com/oakley-dispatch-sunglasses/

    Both of these bring you to error pages, but my site was obviously hacked and there are files hidden somewhere. Does anyone have any tips for finding these so I can delete them? I’ve installed WordFence to avoid issues in the future, but need to clear this up. I have already reinstalled WordPress files and my theme files on GoDaddy FTP.

    Thank you for your insights!
