Someone tries to hack then delete my blog. What can I do in order to prevent it?
-
Someone has contacted me and made a promise that will do anything possible to delete my blog. I do not want this to happen and I want to prevent anyone from hacking my site and in the end delete my 4 years work. If this still happens can I take legal actions? Can I recover my blog afterwards? I am desperate, I do not want to lose anything just because someone feels offended by what I am writing which has nothing to do with that person, or anyone.
Thank you for your patience!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

“Warning: Please be very careful when adding a new Administrator user to your blog. Other Administrators are effectively co-owners. They have as much power over your blog as you do, including the ability to permanently delete it, and the power to remove you from your own blog.”
http://support.wordpress.com/adding-users/If an Administrator deletes a blog, it is NOT hacking.
Please only give users the MINIMUM rights needed to write on your blog such as Contributor or Author. If you give other users Administrator rights, then that means they will have full control of the blog and they can delete it without hacking. If you give other users Editor rights, then they can delete any posts from the blog without hacking. Authors can only edit and delete their own posts.
