Stolen Passwords to WordPress Blog
-
I haven’t found anything here about how to recover passwords or regain control over a hacked blog hosted on wordpress.com.
The issue is that our organization had a blog which a malicious employee retained control over after resigning from the organization. The former employee then changed the passwords. What is our possible recourse? I prefer not to list the blog here in the forum.

You will need to work with the staff – they will need you to prove that you are the proper owners of the blog. This is easiest done if you own the email account used to create the blog / account.
I will flag this for staff attention – they will probably email you at the account you posted to here – they will also reply in this thread with instructions for you.

Blogs are the property of the user who registered them, unless they chose to transfer ownership to someone else.
What is the URL of the blog? If you’re the owner, I can restore your access, but if this “malicious employee” is the owner, then the blog is entirely their property.
