Possible hacker joined my website

Permalink
Hi All,

A possible hacker has joined my website. The username and some other details such as location indicate to me that they might be a hacker. They joined about 4 hours ago.

I've banned the I.P. but have left the user account in place at the moment. The IP address confirms the suspected location.

I've changed administrator passwords on my site. Nothing seems to be untoward at the moment.

I would like to remove the account so that it doesn't appear in Member searches but that would allow the same email address to sign up again wouldn't it?

Any advice on what to look for or what to do next woudl be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
