  I noticed someone was able to look at a photo I have in one of my Photo Albums. It’s part of a draft I have set up and should only be visible to me. It’s not posted yet. How is that possible? Has someone hacked into my account?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  What is the title of the draft you’re referring to, and when did you notice the view?

  It’s actually on my Memory Movies blog (formerly known as For-The-Hell-Of-It Reviews). The MOSQUITO review. The first poster. I spread my photos out on multiple other blogs when they get full, and that first one was looked at. I forgot to mention when I logged in to that particular blog I found a mysterious draft I didn’t write titled, GRA. Someone got in there, I’m sure. I changed all my passwords, but that poster was still looked at.

  OK. So the image I’m seeing is actually stored on another site.

  Where are you seeing the view, though?

  On my Memory Movies dashboard, in the Link box, where you can see who’s looking at what. I noticed it was looked at yesterday.

  Hmm. Not positive yet what would cause that. But I’m guessing it’s more about how the stats reported something — I’m guessing a post preview — rather than a hacker. If someone truly had access to your admin area, I’d guess they’d be doing more than taking sneak peaks at an upcoming post.
