    I’ve received more than one email from WordPress indicating that someone has been trying to change my password. This is not me so I’m assuming someone is trying to hack into my websites. Is there some way to track who is doing this? Is there anything I should do to safeguard my sites?

    Thanks!

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    As long you have a strong password and activate 2FA – https://wordpress.com/support/security/two-step-authentication/ – it’s almost impossible to hack a wordpress.com site.
