  I just checked my soundcloud links and they are NOT the tunes that I posted. It appears that they have been “hijacked” by another person’s soundcloud link. Has that happened to any one else?

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

  The first page I could find with any SoundCloud links was this one:

  http://vernonfamilyjournal.org/projects/music-2/

  However, those SoundCloud embeds appear to be the ones you described in your text:

  

  Is there another page or post where you have SoundCloud links that do not appear correctly?

  This page was last edited in December 2014, so if any changes happened that it’s displaying the wrong SoundCloud material, its because the links changed on SoundCloud’s end.

  If you have any reason to suspect someone may have access to your SoundCloud account, I’d recommend changing your password details immediately.

  Hey Alex,
  thanks for the followup. You definitely found the correct page where we post “family-made” music. Earlier today, when my son, grandson and I were looking for a specific tune, every soundcloud embedded URL was changed to the same podcast link and later, to another soundcloud artist link. Very strange. Right now at 4:00 pm Pacific, everything is back the way it should be.

  I will let you know if it changes again and will try to send the new embedded link.
