  This appears to be a clever hack. We received an image copyright infringement email and the link led to giving “someone” the username and password for the site to check for the offending image! The user’s email was bad.

  Any comments on this, and if a hack how to get WordPress to block the page or site?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Unknown

  This is a well-known phishing. We can only help if that site is running on the wordpress.com platform. Otherwise you could try to contact their hosting. On the other hand, just mark it as spamming or phisphing.
