    As a user of a wordpress.com website you mustn’t do anything because wordpress.com takes care of the protection, https://en.support.wordpress.com/security/
    Just make sure you use a strong password and activate Two Step Authentication.

    Hi,
    You can set up a website lockdown feature and ban users by using third party plugins. The iThemes Security plugin is one of the best such plugins.
    Or, you can use a complex password and password manager like e.g. LastPass to keep your password and you should change the password frequently.

    You can also change the admin username to a rather strong username.

    You can change the WordPress database table prefix in your site. The default prefix makes your site database prone to SQL injection attacks. Such attacks can be prevented by changing wp- to some other term For instance mywp- or mynewwp- will work.
