Hi –
Please share your site URL with me here. Is it running a stand alone WordPress installation or using the managed environment from WordPress.com? I can confirm with the URL.
If you are running a WordPress installation you will need to visit https://wordpress.org/support/ where a community volunteer will try and help. I’d also suggest using some type of security plugin on the site.
Best practice would also be enabling 2 factor authorization on every online account that you have. This is an additional fortification of account security. Typically it can use SMS messaging or a third party app on your mobile device.
If you are running on WordPress.com then you need to update your password now and enable 2 factor on your account and your email account at a minimum.
There’s not a way to prevent someone from attempting to gain access to an online account. Because of that, preventative measures for account security are important.
