  Please help anyone and fast. I’m getting suddenly, hundreds of hits a second from turkey in my stats page. No new visitors but over 250 hits to my latest blog post and every minute I refresh I have so many more. Please help I have no idea if this is a virus or something that somebody’s linked to my blog.
  Do I take down the latest blog post? Can I put it back up after it’s been taken down? I just don’t know what do to :(.

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

  Hi!

  Your site is hosted at WordPress.com – It’s a REALLY secure environment and very very likely that it’s not contracted a virus.

  I don’t have a dashboard into the server or your site analytics but it’s likely that someone has linked to your site or a ‘bad bot’ is hitting your site repeatedly for some reason.

  I wouldn’t take down any post for this.

  Hope that helps!
