Hacked account?
-
People is telling me that when they’re going to my website, they’re seeing a movies website or movies ads (they think it’s something automatic), I’m not sure what I can do.
When I’m going to your settings page (to change my password) I can’t do anything.
May you help me?
Thank you.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

To off-set the costs of providing free hosting to millions of bloggers, WordPress.com has been running advertising on our free hosted blogs since 2006. If the ads you see are found at the end of blog posts then provided you see this small About These Ads link what you are seeing is WordPress.com generated advertising. http://en.wordpress.com/about-these-ads/
Any other ads appearing to you are not placed by WordPress.com. Your visitors have an issue on their browser or computer. These ads are sometimes caused by malware or a virus, but more often it is due to a browser extension or toolbar that you may have installed in your browser.
See here for further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the ads:

May you help me?Changing your password will not chnage what I posted above. The only way to eliminate any ads placed by WordPress.COM on your blog when you see the About These Ads link for WordPress.com generated advertising http://en.wordpress.com/about-these-ads/ is to purchase a No-Ads upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/no-ads/

Ok, but it doesn’t look as normal ads, when my contacts try to visit my website they’re redirected to another website “WATCH ACTION MOVIES” (they can’t go to my site), and they’re receiving all the time messages about to my updates (but I haven’t done).
It’s a different thing and it’s not only a person, it’s happening with some of my followers (from different countries). -
Here’s the result of the first report I ran on your site.

Here’s the result of the second one http://google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://thestonebaby.wordpress.com/What this points to is that your visitors have infected browsers or computers.

P.S. I also tagged this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please get your friends to take screenshots and email them to you. Then you will have them for Staff to examine. You can post screenshots and share them with Staff. You can use http://snag.gy/ to share screenshots. Or you can use the WordPress.com guide I linked to and upload it to your Media Library, and return to this thread to provide the file name so Staff can examine it. Don’t forget to enter the modlook thread for their attention in the sidebar of this thread.

Hi there,
Can you please let me know what link your contacts are using to visit your website?
I’m able to visit your site without any trouble here: http://thestonebaby.wordpress.com/
If they are using a different link, please let me know.

It looks resolved, probably you were right and they had the problem!
