need to delete wordpress account because it was set up by a hacker.
-
I need to delete “my” wordpress account. It was set up by a hacker, and although I now want to join a blog, I am not comfortable using that account because I don’t know who set it up. I can’t contact wordpress directly and all I can find out is that they do not delete accounts.
The moderator sent me an invitation to a different email address, and when I go to set up an account, it sees me as the address that was from the hacked account (it tells me I already have an account, the hacked one). I have tried using two other different emails and somehow it still bounces back to the original, hacked account.
I am horribly frustrated. I hope someone can help me. How does it connect me to that original account when I am trying to act like a new person signing up???
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there!
In order to set up a new account through a different email address, you’ll need to fully log out of this account before clicking on the invitation link.
You can also sign up for a new account yourself by logging out of this account and visiting this page:
https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/
Also, you can be sure that your current account is fully secure for your use by making sure all of your account settings are up to date and that you’re using a strong password. If your contact information and your password are secure, then you won’t need to worry about anyone gaining access, including anyone who may have created this account for you.
Let me know if you have any questions!
