WordPress Security breach
-
I just ran a search and discovered both of my WP domains are being used by another website. They have mapped my WP domain using their domain as the lead.
I have filed a report to Google for copyright violation of my written works and am also filing a report with the FCC.
What I would like to know is how WordPress is going to rectify this issue.
Please do not give me your inane, canned responses. My DNS record is to be protected using WP servers and clearly someone was allow to hijack my domain. I reported a few weeks ago that the WP certificate was showing up as invalid and your website was not secure. Other people reported the same thing and were told this was not really a security issue.
I would advise anyone who has paid for a domain via WP to run a simple search via Google to find out if their domain is also being hijacked. If you have a Contact page, that page is now running through the other domain, which means your account info is as well.

It sounds like another site is iframing or some other method to display your site – you need to file a DMCA against the site that is taking your site
Do a whois on your site name – if you are still the owner and the name servers point to the correct place your domain has not been hijacked – I have some friends that have had their domain registration hijacked (stolen) and the site taken away from them – they are now working with the FBI on the theft and looking at legal action to get their name back –

Hi there,
I checked your account and confirmed that the domains you registered here at WordPress.com are linked to your WordPress.com sites and are not pointed to or being used elsewhere. Your domains’ DNS records are pointing to WordPress.com. (You can check those records from your My Domains page, selecting each of your sites and clicking the “Edit” button next to the domain name to open the domain manager.)
If you provide links to the websites you found, I’d be happy to take a closer look at those sites to see what’s going on there and see if I can offer more advice for you.
