  re: hacked accounts and blogs

  If anyone is posting anything to your blog or removing anything from it, or changing anything in it, or if your blog has been deleted and you did not delete it, then it’s most likely that you have provided them with the ability to do so, either deliberately by adding them as official users, or by allowing them access to your login information, or by posting content that makes it easy for them to guess what your log-in information is.

  For you the question that needs to be answered is: Who, aside from me, has access to my login information?

  Go to your email program immediately and change the password to a very difficult one because that’s how many hackers gain access to blogs.

  Change your blog password to a very difficult one > http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password
  You can also reset your password via your Settings tab on the WordPress.com home page:
  http://wordpress.com/#!/settings/

  Use a secure, encrypted connection to connect to your Dashboard. Under Users → Personal Settings, check the box that says “Always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages, and click Save Changes.

  Use two step authentication http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/

  Run a security scan on your computer. See here to run a security scan http://geekflare.com/online-scan-website-security-vulnerabilities/

  Never leave your computer logged into your blog and walk away from it. Always log out properly.

  P.S. Staff have records of who did what under which username and login information and when they did it.

  HI there,

  I only saw two accounts that were admins on the blog and neither of them is the one you are contacting us from. Do you happen to have another account? If so, post in this thread under that account and I can take a further look into this issue for you.

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

  Thanks for posting here under the owner’s account and confirming ownership. Correct, the site was not deleted by you, but rather the user wendyschell. Do you know who that is?

  Thank you. It’s a little disconcerting that someone I don’t know is able to delete my blog.

  They can’t unless your login information is made available to them by you.
