  Our collective blog (elcolectiu.wordpress.com) was manipulated by a person who is not actually in our organization. I can’t delete her site in the tag “my sites”. It appears always the blog of Ivette Maqueda, and I don’t want that for more time.
  It’s curious I can add posts into her blog without knowing her password (I inserted one called “hello ->Goodbye”)
  Is that a bug of security?

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

  Hey there!

  I took a look at your site, elcolectiu.wordpress.com, and I only see your user name affiliated with the blog.

  The link to that website is in your links widget in your primary tool bar. That is because the link has been added here:
  https://elcolectiu.wordpress.com/wp-admin/link-manager.php

  If you delete her from your links list, she will no longer appear on your site.

  Is that a bug of security?

  Her site is not a WordPress.com site, so I cannot check on the security issue for you. More likely, she didn’t log out of her account after she worked on her site. Because her account was open, you could access the site.

  Again, I can’t be sure about this because http://ivettemaqueda.com/ isn’t hosted here at WordPress.com.

  Let me know if this helps, and how I might assist further.

  If you are concerned at all about security, I do recommend changing the password for your WordPress.com account:

  You may also consider two-step authentication to boost security:

  Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.

  Your post didn’t help.
  Can I send you two printscreens?
  WP says that Ivette must actualize jetpack 3.3, I don’t know if that´s a clue for you

  Hi there,

  If you’d like to send me screenshots, please upload them to the Media Library for elcolectiu.wordpress.com. Then, let me know when there’s something I should look at. It would help me to understand where you’re viewing this unwanted WordPress.com user.

  Where are you seeing this message?

  Jetpack indicates this is a case of a self-hosted site, which I may not be able to assist with. I can only help with WordPress.com sites, as those are the only files I can access.

  One additional issue:

  When I attempt to view your site, elcolectiu.wordpress.com (blog.summaphoto.com), to research further, it appears as if you’ve not setup your domain mapping correctly. In order to create a successful mapping, you’ll need to follow the instructions here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/

  I realize that wasn’t your main inquiry, but I thought I’d bring it up, as your site isn’t accessible as you currently have it configured.
