Blog hacked
-
Hello,
I really need some help as my wordpress blog has been hacked and deleted by another person (uncompromisingfaith.wordpress.com) I’m not sure how this happened. The hacker probably figured out my password and then deleted my blog. Who would want to do such a thing?!
Would you happen to have a way to restore the blog ? I have unfortunately not made any manual backup. Thank you for your time and help. -

re: hacked accounts and blogs
If anyone is posting anything to your blog or removing anything from it, or changing anything in it, or if your blog has been deleted and you did not delete it, then it’s most likely that you have provided them with the ability to do so, either deliberately by adding them as official users, or by allowing them access to your login information, or by posting content that makes it easy for them to guess what your log-in information is.
For you, the question that needs to be answered is: Who, aside from me, has access to my login information?
Go to your email program immediately and change the password to a very difficult one because that’s how many hackers gain access to blogs.

You can also reset your password via your Settings tab on the WordPress.com home page:
http://wordpress.com/#!/settings/Disable post by email https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/email-post-changes/
Use a secure, encrypted connection to connect to your Dashboard. Under Users → Personal Settings, check the box that says “Always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages, and click Save Changes.
Use two step authentication http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/
Run a security scan on your computer. See here to run a security scan http://geekflare.com/online-scan-website-security-vulnerabilities/
Never leave your computer logged into your blog and walk away from it. Always log out properly.
Also, be aware that Staff have records of who did what under which username and login information and when they did it. I flagged this thread with modlook for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it. Note that there is a backlog and be patient while waiting.

In this case, it seems the entire site has been deleted. Please be patient while waiting for Staff assistance.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. It seems as though my entire blog has been removed. I have changed my password and made sure its a stronger one.
Hopefully a member of the WordPress team will be able to help.
