 * I am being hacked daily by several strange fake email addresses. They are somehow
   making themselves users on my account and am having to go in each day and delete
   them. How do I stop this from happening?

 * I’d encourage you to go through and purage all your user accounts, specifically
   their passwords.
 * Also look to add Two Factor authentication, look at the Google Authenticator 
   plugin.
 * If they have a backdoor though they’ll be able to bypass those.
