A post that I didn’t make appearing on my blog?!!
-
I have a post on my blog that I didn’t make (!!!) have I been the subject of a hacker attack?
Has anyone else had this happen? How can someone break in to my account and add posts?? I am the only author & contributor on it
I think this is very serious – have a look and see:

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

(1) Which post are you referring to? Please post the exact and complete url for the post in question starting with http://
(2) Where do you keep your sign-in information for your wordpress.com blog and who has access to your password ?

I assume you are referring to the ‘iphone’ post. If you’re absolutely certain it’s not your post, contact Support http://support.wordpress.com/contact/ so that they can look into it.

this is the link:

Thanks for the verification. Please contact support using the link husdal has provided above.

Following up on timethief, the security at wordpress.com is practically impenetrable. Your PC may not be so unbreakable.

i have a mac. i have just contacted support and they have deleted the post & i’ve changed my email.
I think I know what has happened – my gmail account has been hacked into. I’ve just seen that that dodgy post was sent out to everyone in my address book – and also of course to WordPress, because I have post-by-email set up. So be careful! If you get your email hacked into, someone could be putting posts up on your blog as well as sending out rubbish to people you know.

I’m very sorry this happened to you. Best wishes for happier blogging experiences in the future.
