  Hi there – this site isn’t mine, and wasn’t set up by me. Someone somehow accessed my email address and created this site. Can it be deleted please?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  It looks like you’ve already deleted the site.

  Make sure you update your passwords for both your WordPress.com and your email accounts. Also consider enabling two-step authentication on both accounts. That will give you an extra layer of security to help prevent unauthorised access like this.

  You can see how to set up 2FA on WordPress.com here:
