 * I received a text message with a verification code from wordpress.com, but I 
   didn’t request this. Could this mean someone had tried to hack my account? I 
   have wordpress installed across several self hosted websites so I have no idea
   where this hack could have come from!

 * Where’s your site?
 * If it’s WordPress.COM then please ask on their forum.

 * This forum here is for self-hosted WordPress.**ORG** software installations.
 * This link explains the differences.

 * Well my websites are self hosted, but I use jetpack so I can log in with my .
   com account. I use the 2 step verification and I received a text message with
   a code for this, which usually happens when I log in. Perhaps it was an attempted
   log-in on my .com account but I find that strange as I don’t have a .com blog
   or anything, I just use it for jetpack.
 * I just got a bit confused why I received this code when I wasn’t logging in.
