    Hello all,
    On the bottom of all our blogs far right there should be a lock. What do I do if it has a red exclamation point? Has my account been hacked or
    phished? Funny thing is this only shows up on front page not on dashboard. Does this put the people I linked to in danger? Should I
    change my account?
    Thanks, Kier

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

    Please post the complete and clickable URL for the blog in question starting with http://
    Where is this “warning sign” displaying?
    Are you using https when visiting your Admin pages?
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
    How many Admins are there on the blog in question?

    Note that wordpress.COM blogs don’t get “hacked” easily. What happens is: (1) people do not choose secure passwords instead they make choices that can easily be guessed by blog readers. If you can remember the password then it’s not a secure one.
    (2) they leave their log-in information where others can access it.
    (3) they allow Admin access to other people and make them Admins rather than listening to the advice provided – 1 Admin per blog.
    If you are concerned about security the see here please. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#security

    I searched through several threads for this. Is this the blog in question or not? http://boundarycrosser.wordpress.com/

    Please link your blog to your username. Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Website‘ select the URL for your primary wordpress.com blog and then save changes.

    Now every time you sign into the forum we can all click on your username and your blog will be linked to it.
