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.

P.S. I flagged this thread for Staff help.
