    Thanks for the helpful links as the rush of followers is a bit odd.

    WOW
    thank you, Pit! I don’t have the time to read it now, but I’ll look into it tomorrow, together with Klausbernd. I’m not quite sure what we can actually do about this hacking WP…

      Hi Dina,
      The only thing we can do, to my mind, is trying to find a very secure password and change that from time to time. Unfortunately, as I see it, there’s not safe way to change the user name as one can always log in to WordPress with one’s e-mail address, which is easy to find for hackers.
      Best regards from southern Texas, to Klausbernd and the bookfayries, too, and also from Mary,
      Pit
