Deleted sites?
-
Hello,
I have logged into my account today and found that some of my sites have been deleted?
The main one affected is dclrc.wordpress.com is there any reason a site is deleted without me doing so?
Any help is appreciated!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What are the exact URLs starting with http:// of the wordpress.COM hosted sites you refer to please?
And, exactly which wordpress.COM username account registered each site?
This is wordpress.COM support. I’m asking because we cannot accurately answer questions posted here until we have confirmed the URL referred to and verified the hosting.
We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM. That support is found at http://wordpress.ORG/support/
Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.me/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page. -
https://dclrc.wordpress.com is no longer available.
The authors have deleted this site.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.
