hacked site
-
I lost my blog page nearly 2 years ago now…I don’t even remember the details, but I think my web address wasn’t set to auto renew or something and so it expired and I lost all my blog material etc. I haven’t logged on since…nearly 2 years ago…but suddenly there is someone else using my blog account, they’ve created a fake site and are sending mass emails from my own personal email address. When I log on to word press (I didn’t know I still had an active account even) I can see my original blog which is empty, has not posts etc., and then a new blog underneath…but I can’t access the new blog. when I click it opens to the fake site that I’m NOT maintaining but I can’t see anything else. If I try to click anywhere else it takes me to log in screen and my log in doens’t work. I don’t know the log in/password info to the fake site so I have no idea what to do. I want ot close my word press account, I don’t have a blog here anymore so I don’t need it and didn’t realize I still had one. Let me know what I can do. The fake site is:
http://www.beautifullybrokensite.orgThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you did not renew your custom domain, than that web address is available to anyone. But you should not have lost your content. The site does look spammy, but either it is self hosted, or they’ve removed the footer. I could find no way to report it.
I recommend you change your email and wordpress account passwords to something very strong. Weak passwords are a common way for hackers to gain access.
I have tagged this for staff to help you.
