At PrestaShop, if the system detect any inconsistent data, it will display "Hack Attempt". You will be surprised when you see this error. But in most cases, it is not because of hack attack. It is because of consistent data detected.
Here are a few of those cases that will cause this error.
1. If you use bookmark of a URL of PrestaShop site, and the URL contains some kind of token, next time when you access the same site from the bookmarked URL, this error will occurs.
2. If the address ID in an order record could not be found at address table, this error will also occur.
3. If your state ID in your address record could not be found in state table.
4. The system can not find the default country.
You can define default country at back office - shipping - countries
These are just a few examples.
If you experience this error, but you don't think is it hack attack, then try to figure if there is any data problem.

I will be there to answer your questions personally.
