  Do I really have unauthorized users accessing my account?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Specifically and exactly what makes you think that is happening please?

  If anyone is posting anything to your blog or removing anything from 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.

  Ask yourself: Who, aside from you, has access to your login information?

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

  Read > 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
  You can also reset your password via your Settings tab on the WordPress.com home page:
  http://wordpress.com/#!/settings/

  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.

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

  You only have one WordPress.com site under this username and you are currently the only user. There are no active invitations for that site either.

  Do you have multiple WordPress.com accounts that I need to check?
