  This is like the 4th or 5th time it happened. These aren’t responses, these are posts that show up in my dashboard, but I had nothing to do with them. I’ll try changing my password, but why is this happening?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Almost certainly because your email has been hacked. Change the password on your email, THEN change the password on your blog, then disable “post by email” which is how most of the spam posts get onto blogs.
