  Hello,

  I’ve received an email to the creation of this website: https://cxg2v76wz5fnse8r.wordpress.com/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=marketing-free-site-welcome-v2&utm_source=guides

  I didn’t create it. Can you clarify what is this? Did someone access my email?

  Regards,
  Victor

  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi there, Staff are aware of this issue as it has been reported by a number of users today.

  The recommendation is to change your account password and enable two-factor authentication: https://wordpress.com/support/security/two-step-authentication/.

  I’d also recommend changing your passwords anywhere where you used the same one as here, including your email password.

  You can delete the site that was created following this guide:

  We got several threads about this problem. Staff is investigating this situation. In the meantime it’s not a bad idea to change the password of your email and activating 2FA if available.
