  Minutes ago, I discovered that all of the images and information on my WordPress.com website, <wascallyweewilly.com>, had been wiped clean. I hadn’t looked at the site for 2-3 days, but everything had been working just fine. I updated to the latest version of WordPress a couple of weeks ago and that was the last time I used the admin module. A new administrative password had been set in the last month or so.

  WHAT THE HEY? I’m VERY concerned and see no compelling reason to “fix” my website problem until I know WordPress is secure.

  Thank you in advance for any assistance.

  You have not be hacked on WordPress.COM

  The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.

  This site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/

  The forum at WordPress.ORG is not connected to WordPress.COM so you will need to open an account at .ORG if you do not already have one. You may use the same email at WordPress.ORG as you do at WordPress.COM.
