  I recently got an email saying my site was ready, but I haven’t created a site. Does this mean my account has been compromised? I haven’t used wordpress for 10 years!

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  We’re investigating a recent uptick in reports like this. Therefore, I have deleted the site uzkalx7w1gm8o4qj.wordpress.com from your account, as it appears to be a site that you did not create.

  I recommend changing the password on your WordPress.com account and your email as soon as possible.

  To add another layer of security to your account, you may also want to enable Two-Step Authentication — a second step to the log-in process that no one but you can access — using your cell phone for authentication. Learn more about enabling two-step authentication:
