  Hi Support,

  Please can you advise me. I have an address as follows:

  http://madonablog.wordpress.com/wp-admin

  Because it has the word ‘admin’ in the address can you tell me please if it is safe to use because of the attacks? Also, could it be hacked in to?

  Thank you for your help.

  Kind Regards,

  Janet Jerome

  It’s quite safe as long as you have a secure password, the attacks were against self-hosted wordpress blogs.

  This should clarify: http://www.dailydot.com/crime/wordpress-attack-4-easy-steps-protect-your-blog/

  There is only one person at WP.com with the “admin” username. If it’s not you, you are probably okay.
