Someone got into my account and changed my admin Username to AnonymousFox
-
Please help me change my username. Someone got into my account and changed my admin username. I don’t know how they got it. I’ve read that AnonymousFox has bypassed wordpress security. Please help me to know what parts of my files to protect.

What is the URL of the site you are trying to access? We’ll be happy to take a look and see if we can help.

Your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted elsewhere.
Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers. You can find more information here about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/
https://wordpress.org/support/ is a great resource for sites using the open source WordPress.org software, and you can find support for that at: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
Your hosting provider’s support team may also be able to assist.

Thanks for your reply. It has been confusing on the forums to find real answers.
I’ve reached out to my hosting provider. -
You might also try a plugin for changing usernames.
