We host a lot of WordPress websites, today we noticed that almost every WordPress website we hosted changed their users’ usernames into one single name, not only one user all the users of a website is changed into one single name but for some reason, the password is still not changed.
Is this a possible hack?

Method 1
Most definitely, all user names changed to admin I’m guessing ? I had this happen to an old website before. If available, I recommend recovering from a backup just in case they injected code in your posts / pages. I also recommend updating your plugins, templates and WordPress to the latest version and removing old unused plugins / templates.
