Have my blogs been hacked?

    Recently I was reading up on SEO and what to do to get my blog higher up in search results. I was in the process of validating via the different sites (usig Bing webmaster SEO Analyzer) when it displayed code at the top of my site that seemed strange (last line):

    Server: nginx
    Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2014 16:15:36 GMT
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
    Transfer-Encoding: chunked
    Connection: close
    Vary: Accept-Encoding,Cookie
    Last-Modified: Mon, 18 Aug 2014 16:15:36 GMT
    Cache-Control: max-age=300, must-revalidate
    X-nananana: Batcache
    X-hacker: If you’re reading this, you should visit automattic.com/jobs and apply to join the fun, mention this header.

    I wrote support but haven’t heard anything yet. Has anyone else seen this in their .com blogs? Is this typical or something they need to correct?

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

    I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Automattic adds those lines to the header as a bit of an easter egg. It’s a fun tee-hee for people poking around and they really do want as many highly qualified and highly awesome people as possible to apply to join the team (or so I’ve heard).
