  I don’t see any suspicious activity in our logs for your account, but I recommend changing your password at https://wordpress.com/me/security/password to a strong password https://wordpress.com/support/security/#choose-a-strong-password immediately.

  If you can, I also recommend setting up two-step authentication: https://wordpress.com/support/security/two-step-authentication/
