   My blog is posting a new post and comment just like the default one's that are loaded on a new wordpress installation. I keep deleting them and they keep coming back.

   Any help would be appreciated.

   Thanks,
   Tracy

   Is this happening in a new blog or an older established one? Did you just add a new plugin before this happened? It would help to know what could have caused this strange behavior in your site.

   It is an older blog.

   I recently did some security upgrades including updating the database name, user and password to more secure, random names/passwords. I also renamed the Prefix table to something more secure than wp_.

   My blog was the target of a vicious attack and I was told if I took these security steps (as well as others) that my blog would be less likely to be hit again.

   I should also mention my blog is not the main site but http://thelistauction.com/blog/

   I have, once again, cleaned out the posts and comments and I don't think I'm being targeted again but I would like to find an answer.

   Thanks!

   Hello All,

   Please advise. We have major problem with random blog posts.

   We have changed themes, eliminated contributors and only have one or two admins, changed passwords and user names.

   We have eliminated all rss feeds, blog broadcasts thru autoresponder and still random posts appearring on blog.

   Web hosting company says security break with WP.

   How do we fix this problem ASAP.

   Thanks
