    Hi –

    Can you tell me where you’re seeing this on the site? Have you already updated your password? It’s also a good idea to update the password to your 2 factor device and email account.

    The only way for someone to add images like this to your site is by signing in directly to your account or through their user role if you had added them to the blog as a contributor.

    @ichyfitri28 I hope you don’t mind me jumping in to help. I see you have Post by Email enabled and I’m guessing you’ve somehow let the secret out about that address, because the affected posts are definitely coming through that way.

    If you’re no longer using Post by Email, please disable it. If you are using it, generate a new address and keep it safe.
