What to do when you find a post on your blog that you did not post
-
Hi, I just found the following post (This rocks! Finally earning some money! LOVE IT! – Image) on my blog and I trashed it as I did not post it. I don’t know how it got on there as I know not to post this kind of posts and would never do this. I see that it shows it was posted 2 hours ago. I would assume that my account has been compromised, would appreciate any help you can provide…….thanks so much, Lila Litter (flagranny2)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Go to your email program and change the password to a very difficult one because that’s how many hackers gain access to blogs
Read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/1. If you can log-in go here > Users > All Users and delete any user that does not belong there.
2. Disable post by email > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/
3. Disable post by voice > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-voice/
4. Change your blog password to a very difficult one > http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password
5. Use a secure, encrypted connection to connect to your Dashboard. Under Users → Personal Settings, check the box that says “Always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages, and click Save Changes.
