  I noticed just today that all comments that anyone ever posted on any of the pages on the aforementioned blog have disappeared. It’s not that they are just not displayed, they are gone (WP-Admin dashboard shows 0 comments).

  I certainly don’t believe I had a memory lapse and forgot that I deleted all comments (nor did I have any reason to do so). Could it be a problem with the database? Malicious activity by a hacker? No other data on the website seems altered…

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

  Thanks, timethief.

  As I mentioned, the dashboard link above shows that there are no comments.

  Per your advice, I added the modlook tag, and subscribed to this thread.
