Blog got hacked, all posts are deleted
-
Hello,
On 3/10 I noticed that all my posts were gone from my blog. I also got an e-mail if I would still liked to delete my blog. I did not try to delete my blog, so someone tried to delete my blog for me. I’m guessing I got hacked. I would like to know if there is anyway I could get my posts back?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hacked Sites
The only “hacked” sites I have seen here have been people getting the password somehow to a site so you do want to be careful how you log in and use a tough password.
You should also check to make sure that someone has not added a new user to your site. Problems have also happened when there was more than one Admin. and an Admin left on less than graceful terms.
Dashboard >> Users
Many times a users email is hacked or the password guessed and the email account is used to get access by requesting a password reset – you need to change your email password and make sure they nobody has been added to your email account.
You should also run a virus check on you PC to make sure your PC does not have a security issue that has compromised your email or WordPress.COM log-in information (also your bank etc. if you do online banking or retirement accounts)
There have also been a few Posts on “hacked” sites and it was because someone got the Post by Email address and using the Post by Email to send in new Posts, if you have Post by email disable the Post by Email and regenerate the address. Spammers have scripts the generate email addresses and they sometimes can get a valid address for a Post by Email address.
If you are really concerned you could as the staff to look at your site: http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/
You could also use a secure log-in in case you are on an unsecured link: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
What’s the URL of the blog? And how many admins or Editors are there?

PS – look in the trash folders – many times people that delete things don’t empty the trash

The URL of my blog is http://enjoyan.wordpress.com/ and I’m the only admin, checked everything but found nothing. There is nothing in the trash, changed my password, nothing works…

If the Posts are not in the trash – then search engine cache’s are the only option
I have flagged this for the staff and they might be able to give you a bit more info on what happened – but I think your content is gone from the system here

Hi there!
I do see that a lot of content was deleted about five days ago, however when I visit your dashboard I see several posts and pages. Are you missing a subset of your content? Or did you recover some or all of it?
