Hi! We’re taking care of security for derdiwan.wordpress.com for you. I don’t see that user on the site, and your site isn’t open to new registrations. Did you need help with another site?
If you’re referring to a WordPress installation we don’t host, you may just need to disallow new user registrations (here’s how). Or, if your installation really was vulnerable to attacks, here’s how to clean a hacked site.
Just noting too, if you move your site to our services (here’s how), so we can take care of maintenance and security for you. Let us know if you have questions!
