  Someone hacked my account tonight and deleted most of my blogs, does wordpress have any sort of back up dating back to earlier today? I tried to restore what I could but the last saved item was from 8/11 when I post multiple times a day! PLEASE HELP!
  Blog url: http://rachelegenhofer.wordpress.com/

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

  Hi there,

  I’ve looked over the blogs on your account, and it doesn’t look like there is any suspicious access that has taken place. Can you please provide the URL(s) of the blogs where you’ve experienced data loss?

  Best,
  P.
