pictures appearing in my media library that I didn't upload
-
I recently purchased a new theme for my wordpress site. In the last week or so, I’ve noticed that when I don’t use a featured image, one is somehow magically uploaded and selected for me. The photos are always topic-specific. It’s very strange. At the same time, I’ve also recently started using WP Ultimate recipes. I contacted the theme provider and they said they think I’ve been hacked. If I’ve been hacked, it’s a pretty weird/pointless one. Could it be something else entirely?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

mudonherboots.com is hosted by Colo4, not WordPress.COM.
That site is not on WordPress.COM servers and you cannot get support for it here. You are posting to the wrong support forum.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, passwords support docs and support forums, and many people get confused about the two.
The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.
(3) Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.com/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpackHowever, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.
