  Hi there, the first thing you will want to do is change passwords to both the email address associated with your account and your WordPressdotcom account itself.

  If it is enabled on your site, you will want to disable “post by email” Here’s how you can do that https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/

  Lastly, please consider enabling 2-step authentication if you don’t already have it enabled.

  Here’s more on how to keep your site secure: https://en.support.wordpress.com/security/

  If you haven’t yet permanently deleted the inappropriate posts, please return to this forum thread and add the MODLOOK tag to the Tags section of this forum thread so that Staff can investigate.
