  Hi All. I am new here. Something weird happened last night. Someone was able to create a new Admin User on the backend of our website last night. Not a wordpress blog, but our actual wordpress website. The e-mail address attached was an @wordpress.com e-mail address. Does anyone know how this is possible & why it happened? Thanks

  What site are you talking about as your wordpress.com account pressedconfused is only half an hour old?

  Hey startmees. I am talking about our business website. I created this account to get support from WordPress, as this is where search engines led me to, when I started looking how to get help from WordPress. I am new to all this.

  Hi there,

  Can you tell us your site’s URL? In other words, the address you type into your browser to view it?

  Once we know that we should be able to point you in the right direction for help with this.
