  Hi there, if you believe that somebody has compromised your account, changing your password is the best thing to do. Ensure it’s a secure password: https://en.support.wordpress.com/selecting-a-strong-password/

  I’d also suggest highly recommend using 2 Step Verification. When somebody logs into your account using an email login link in the future, after enabling this, they’ll need a 2FA code.: https://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/

  Also ensure that nobody knows your Post by Email address: https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/

  This will help keep your account very secure. Let us know if you have any further questions or issues. :)

  Something I forgot to add – I also highly suggest using 2FA on your email, regardless of which services you use. If you inform us of your provider, we may be able to assist in helping you do so. :)

  Hi there,

  The account you’re contacting us from (delablogger) is one day old and I don’t see anyone else trying to log in to it as only your IP address has been recorded so far.

  If you’re referring to another WordPress.com or another site please let us know the username or the address of the site so we can have a closer look.
