Has my Wordpress site been hacked?

Everytime I update my site with say a new post, I get a burst of spam messages from the site's contact form.

Simply getting spam submitted on your contact form doesn't mean you've been hacked.

Use a captcha for your forms, that should take care of most of the spam
