  Hello,

  Did you already get this figured out? I just took a look at your site, and don’t see any kind of “hacked” notice.

  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.

  Change your blog password to a very difficult one > http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password
  You can also reset your password via your Settings tab on the WordPress.com home page:
  http://wordpress.com/#!/settings/

  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.

  P.S. 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. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it. Note that there is a backlog and be patient while waiting.

  My web site is hosted by GoDaddy. My Blog is directly from WordPress. The hacker added a blog to GoDaddy. I deleted it and changed the password. I’m hoping that will get r done. I had decided not to use the GoDaddy because it caused a conflict with my home page since it sets the blog up as index.php.

  My web site is hosted by GoDaddy.

  We only provide support here for sites hosted on WordPressdotcom.

  Standalone WP and WordPressdotcom (where we are) are different entities; more information about the differences can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Help for self-hosted sites using the standalone WP software can be found over at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page and at https://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums, you can register one on that page.

  Best wishes.
