Trying to access my previous hacked account
-
Someone tried to hack into my previous email and the wordpress account linked to that email. Is there anyone I can speak to? Its not something I could resolve online (tried, didn’t work). Help!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I assume you mean they were not successful? How were you notified of the attempt?
Overall, I recommend changing your password to a strong one https://en.support.wordpress.com/security/#strong-password and setting up two-step authentication: https://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/

Sorry I should have been more clear. It’s for another account. This one was created as back up. They were successful in the sense that when I tried to log in, I was told that someone has made several attempts to access my account and so now it’s locked. The same with the email I used.

That particular username was deleted 6 months ago.
What is the URL of the site you logged into with that username?
-
The username with access to that site is actually a different username.
It was last accessed 3 months ago, so there is no sign of recent hack activity on the site itself.
As for the account, it was last accessed 3 months ago as well, so also no hack activity on the correct account.
Overall, the problem appears to be that you’re trying to log in as
dispassionatescholar, an account deleted 6 months ago, rather than the correct account.You’ll need to log in as
dispassionatepoststo access the site in question, and if you don’t recall the password, there are some options at https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/ -
