Good morning, how did a user manage to register as an admin in my WordPress site without having the necessary credentials? I don’t want it to happen anymore, what should I do?
Thank you

If admin level users are being added to your WordPress installation then you’ve been hacked.

Please remain calm and give this a good read.

When you have successfully deloused your site then consider giving this a read too.
