  Hi there. The only way someone could have gained access to your private blog is if you invited them. Keep in mind that people can request and invitation, but they won’t get access unless you add them.

  You can see all your followers under Settings ->Reading. If there’s someone there that shouldn’t be there you can remove them. And under Users ->All Users you can see everyone you’ve given dashboard access. You can also remove anyone who shouldn’t be there, but if there is an unauthorised user it probably means someone gained access to your login details, so please change your password for both WordPress.com and your email account in that case.
