  Hi there, I randomly decided to log back into my old WordPress. It’s really strange but I have an account that I never set up – is there a reason why it’s under my email address? Did someone hack into my account? I only had my personal account. Is there any way I could get it removed?

  Many thanks,
  Stacey

  Correct account: Yes

  Hi there,

  I’m not sure what you mean by “I have an account that I never set up” you are referring to one of the websites shown here? https://wordpress.com/sites/

  If so which one? Thanks for the additional info!

  Yes I’m referring to the China News one… is there a quick way to remove it? And is there a way to find out who added it?

  Thanks!

  They added you about nine years ago as a “contributor” to the site. Do you want us to remove you still?
