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/Remove any users you did not invite and authorize https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#removing-users
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. I flagged this thread with modlook for a Staff follow-up.

Can you please provide details on exactly where you are seeing this? As @thesacredpath said above, your account is the only user on your site http://malctg.wordpress.com/, and the only person who has access to the dashboard and the ability to publish new content.
If you mean you saw their name on a comment or on a post or comment like, that does not mean something is wrong. Your site is public, so anyone with an internet connection can read it, and if you have comments and likes enabled, anyone with a WordPress.com account can comment on and like your posts.
