The blog involved is http://neilstudents.wordpress.com/ which is a very small space I have set aside for matters of concern to some TESOL students I am helping; it is totally non-commercial. It is a bit of an inconvenience that I can't at this stage respond to them, unless of course they email me...

I have contacted Support... The service from Mark and others in the past day or two has been great, I should add.

NOTE: I have made sure that none of my browsers remember anything, especially passwords. I have opted out of Google Chrome. I have configured Windows Live Writer to forget everything too... :(

I would like to thank Mark and the team for their help. I'm still going now at http://ninglundecember.wordpress.com and have asked to be enabled to delete the http://ninglunprologue.wordpress.com blog, or for the team to do it for me. It was intended to be merely an index to my blogs and a place to talk about blogging, but was never my greatest in visits. Some people liked it, but I can live without it. BTW -- just in case -- ask me the name of the first dog I ever had... ;) If I know the answer, than I really am me!

This is only to prevent damage to the blog.
As soon as this is sorted out the blog will be restored.

If I do not suspend and something happens you would ask me why I did not.

Again, contact / reply to Support with every single detail.

Have you considered the possibility that someone may have hacked your PC? So regardless of your password changes, the hacker will always know. Unless you haven't already done so I strongly recommend a aspyware and virus search on your PC.

]]> mark on "I've been hacked" http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/ive-been-hacked-1#post-245900 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:10:06 +0000 mark 245900@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ It is impossible for comments to be edited.

Contact Support and give every single possible detail about this 'hack'. You cannot possibly give us too much detail.

And there is NO 'hack' - it is always a password issue.

I don't know how. I have contacted support, and I have changed my password to a strong password six times at least today. This is a serious hack.

I have no idea what you think is going on.

I might add that the person who write the comment above has in fact rewritten my original but is telling the truth about what I have done, that is making password changes and contacting support. It is a serious breach.

You will have had a password that someone guessed - there is a big difference.

Contact Support using the email address you created the blog with and every other detail.

The hacker seems to still be active as he has survived several password changes. There is only one user on my blog! I have done what I can. Any ideas?
