  Good morning,

  There is an old blog that my company used to run that has had no updates since 2011. We are looking to take that blog down completely but none of the people that used to administer that site are still part of the company. What steps can we take to reclaim ownership of the blog and ultimately have it taken down.

  Hi there,

  What is the address of the site in question?

  If the site is hosted on WordPress.com, only a logged-in admin on the site can delete it or take it offline, and we can only give you access to an admin account on the site if you are able to provide verification that you own the account in question via our account recovery process:

  The address is this:
  https://raytheontrustedcomputersolutionsblog.wordpress.com/

  The problem is the admins who managed the site left the company a long time ago and we have no way of contacting them. Our company is just looking to have the site taken offline completely.

  Presumably there would be a way to get this removed if we were able to prove that we own the trusted computer solutions brand?
