Our very old, very private blog is suddenly public – it's certainly not supposed to and I can&#
-
FYI, I only signed up because there was absolutely no other way to contact any WordPress people on this.
Me and my friends recently found contents from a very old Blog of ours on WordPress through Google search. The blog in question was seemingly automatically transferred to WordPress many many years ago when Blogspot shut down.
Just for fun all of us 5 girls who used to write there googled it and where shocked to find this still online and public.
It’s a very private Blog with private addresses, full names and information that nobody was supposed to see out in the open. Criminals could use this information to do great harm to all of us.
However, there seems to be no way for any of us to log into this Blog.Please help me shut it down or make it private. This is a nightmare.
When I tried to recover the blog, they asked for different verification information that none of us every received. The blog seems not to be signed up on any of our mail addresses and we never created WordPress profiles either.
I remember extracting the contents from Blogspot at that time when it went offline and converting it to some kind of WordPress format, but never to actually publishing it anywhere (would have been too much work anyways).
So if you know what I can do, please help!
(I took out the link of the blog now since this seems to be posted in a public forum. This blog contains very private things, I will only give the link to WordPress employees or ‘happiness engineers’ – who seem to be impossible to reach out to somehow without signing up, creating a blog and then posting my problem on a public forum…)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Note: The blog is not the one that was automatically posted below my topic. I just signed up here so I can ask the Happiness Engineers to engineer some happiness to this mess.

That is not something that could have happened. We’ve never automatically transferred anything between blogspot and WordPress.com. And in fact, blogspot being owned by Google (and not actually shut down at all, just rebranded to Blogger), we would not be able to even if we wanted to. Only the blog owner would have been able to export from blogspot and import to WordPress.com.
I am going to have to know the URL of the blog to look into this for you.
I am sending you an email to the address associated with your WordPress.com account. Please let me know if you do not receive it.
