  There is strange text on the home page of the blog. Please advise.

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

  It looks OK to me – where is the strange text and what does it say

  It asks for email address, name and website after the post a comment on the about page. Looks like someone has hacked and is phishing for details

  That is perfectly normal, and what anyone sees in a regular comment section. You don’t generally see it only because you are generally logged in when you look at a WP.com comment section, and those details are filled in automatically.

  In order for people to leave comments, they must identify themselves. Your own settings are what is causing this text to be displayed. You can change it under Settings->Discussion.
