site hacked and removed
-
The site was hacked and removed. It was a public site. Please help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This site at https://lostmessiahfound.wordpress.com/ has not been removed.
https://lostmessiahdotcom.wordpress.com is no longer available. The authors have deleted this site.
Deleted .wordpress.com blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

This was not removed by the owner. We are the owner. Someone deleted it and it was not us. https://lostmessiahdotcom.wordpress.com

That’s unfortunate because Staff cannot restore it.
re: hacked accounts and blogs
If anyone is posting anything to your blog or removing anything from it, or changing anything in it, or if your blog has been deleted and you did not delete it, then it’s most likely that you have provided them with the ability to do so, either deliberately by adding them as official users, or by allowing them access to your login information, or by posting content that makes it easy for them to guess what your log-in information is.
For you the question that needs to be answered is: Who, aside from me, has access to my login information?
Go to your email program immediately and change the password to a very difficult one because that’s how many hackers gain access to blogs.

You can also reset your password via your Settings tab on the WordPress.com home page:
http://wordpress.com/#!/settings/Use a secure, encrypted connection to connect to your Dashboard. Under Users → Personal Settings, check the box that says “Always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages, and click Save Changes.
Use two step authentication http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/
Run a security scan on your computer. See here to run a security scan http://geekflare.com/online-scan-website-security-vulnerabilities/
Never leave your computer logged into your blog and walk away from it. Always log out properly.
P.S. Staff have records of who did what under which username and login information and when they did it. This thread with modlook for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it. Note that there is a backlog and be patient while waiting.

The recommendation is for one Admin per site with good reason. Nothing related to site-administration is off-limits for Administrators, including deleting the entire site. This is why we recommend having only one administrator per blog.

Hi. We had all of the two-step initiations in place. This is the 3rd time this happened. The last time, someone was able to recover it. This time, no. It was deleted within the last day or so. Can you please direct me to someone who might be able to recover the deleted files. There is more than a year's worth of work. The last time it was downloaded for safekeeping was in March but that can't be accessed either.
