  Spam admin accounts keep getting added with admin access.

  They seem to be hacker accounts from Russia.

  I have a firewall set up with cloudflare, but they keep coming back.

  Hi @andrewvmcdermot, I’m so sorry to hear they keep getting you! The site isn’t hosted on our servers (see this — for what it’s worth, we take care of security for our customers) so I’d recommend taking these steps to secure your installation:

  Jetpack

  Then if you’d like us to manage your site going forward, you’d be welcome to import your site to our services. We’re happy to answer any questions you have about that.

  If you opt to keep your installation of WordPress at another host, you’ll want to use the correct forums for self-managed WordPress installations going forward.

  Good luck!
