  Someone claimed my blog was hacked. They said they had all the IP’s of all the people who posted there. How likely is it that they are bluffing?

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

  The only “hacked” sites I have seen in the forum have been when someone has gotten a password to a site – if you are worried then change your password to a more difficult one and double check your users to make sure someone did not get your password and add themselves to your site.

  Also, go to settings > general and make sure the email address listed as the admin email address is correct. Also, change the password for that email address and make sure it is a strong one as well.
