hacked account
-
My account was hacked. Perhaps it was a cross site password attack, but with security issues you have had in the past, I thought I would let you know.
It’s no big deal. I changed my password and deleted the spam post, but I wanted to alert you in case you had a pattern of this recently.

Just to be sure you have covered all the bases. Go to your email program and change the password to a very difficult one because that’s how many hackers gain access to blogs
