  Good evening. I am facing some privacy breach on my WorldPress account. There is one, or a couple of individuals, who are regularly acceding my account. From your end, could you please confirm if you could check if only one and only one session is opened on my account? I would appreciate your kind support on that topic. Thanks. Best regards,

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

  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?

  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.
