    I have gotten about twenty e-mails in the span of a few hours saying there have been multiple failed attempts at signing into my WordPress account when I haven’t signed in in more than 24 hours. The e-mail claims I may be under a “brute force attack” which I then Googled and from what I got, it seems as though my account is trying to be hacked into. Can you please help me stop this from happening?

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

    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.

    For more on the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    If you are asking for help with a WordPress.COM site then we need a link to that site to give you accurate help.
