  Hi,

  it looks like someone hacked my site and did some editing to some posts. Also the feature to make posts private was removed and some posts that were private are not and vice versa.

  Your not going out of business with a group of other sites or something are ya?

  Hi Arlene,

  No we definitely are not going out of business any time soon!

  Are you speaking about your site http://bethsheba2013.wordpress.com/ ? I see that someone did indeed log in about 2 days ago and changed some privacy around on some of your posts.

  I strongly recommend that you update your account’s password right here: http://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  And that you consider enabling 2 Factor Authentication for your account by following the steps laid out right here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/

  Let me know if you have any questions!
