My Pages and Posts Were Deleted, and I Didn't Do it
-
All of my pages and posts were deleted from my website when I logged in this morning. I haven’t touched my account since last Wednesday, but now everything I created and posted on there is gone.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Go to your email program and change the password to a very difficult one because that’s how many hackers gain access to blogs.
Then read this please and act on what you find there > http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/
1. If you can log-in go here > Users > All Users and delete any user that does not belong there.
2. Disable post by email > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/
3. Disable post by voice > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-voice/
4. Change your blog password to a very difficult one > http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password
5. 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.
No one can add or delete anything from your blog unless you provide them the ability to either intentionally or unintentionally. Blogs do not get hacked unless you fail to follow security protocols.
Who has access to your login information?
Did you use the same password for your email account and your blog?
Are you sharing log-in information with anyone or leaving it where anyone can locate it?
Is your password a weak one that others can easily guess?
Are you remaining logged in on your computer so anyone can come along and access your blog through it?
Are you using a wifi connection and not using the https:// login? -
Nobody has access to my login information, but I remember how last year, there was a key-logger on my home laptop. I don’t remember changing my password for this account, so that was probably it. I’m the only user on my account, and even my account picture was changed, which is odd.
The last computer that I used to access my account was my work computer, and I lock it when I’m not at my desk, and we have strong anti-virus software. I think it was the keylogger incident that happened last year, so I’ll change my password.

It happened again. I already changed my password, so I don’t know what it could be this time.

We had an issue a few months ago where duplicate blogs were being created on accident. That’s what happened in this case.
I’ve deleted the empty duplicate blog for you, so everything should be working now. Please clear your browser cache and everything should be okay from here.
