Hacker from India
-
Someone is trying to hack into my WordPress blog. Is there any way to block them? I can see that they are hitting my site every 30 minutes (I have Feedjit) and causing ME to have to log back in. Help! My blog is educationvoodoo.wordpress.com. Thanks a lot.
Blog url: http://educationvoodoo.wordpress.com/The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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
Read and act on all security tips > http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/In the event of hacking this is what to do:
1. If you can log-in go here > Users > All Users and delete any user that does not belong there.2. Disable post by email > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/
3. Disable post by voice > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-voice/
4. Change your blog password to a very difficult one > http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password
5. 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.

Good. It’s rare for blogs to be hacked when bloggers are on top of security. I’ve also flagged this thread so Staff will take a look at your stats.

timethief – Is there any way wp can get the IP address of the visitor from India that keeps hitting me every 30 mins?

IP addresses are rarely unique nowadays, particularly in India, but you can try installing another stats program.
