hacker in my blogs

  • Unknown's avatar

    How can I freeze my blogs so nobody can edit them? A former user has hacking skills and got into the blogs after I had changed the password.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    These blogs of mine are supposedly involved in a legal dispute and somebody has deleted posts without my knowledge. I changed the password, but she got in again. There is no way she could have guessed the password, she must have hacked my computer. I just want to freeze the blogs as is for now.

    Hi there,

    It’s possible this other individual has access to the same computer you use to log in (when you haven’t logged out, or with cookies in the browser set to recognize you); knows your WordPress.com password (or has guessed it); or has access to the email address associated with your WordPress.com account.

    To prevent this unauthorized access, I would strongly urge you to clear all WordPress/email cookies in any browser on a shared/public computer, and to change your email and WordPress.com passwords to something that is not something that another person can guess. For added security, you can even change the email address for your WordPress.com account to something new (such as a new Gmail account) that this individual would not know.

    You can also set up two-step authentication for your WordPress.com account
