# Security breeched?

 * Four days ago I was running V 2.3 and my blog suddenly went offline – all I could
   see was the Index/blog page with text listing of the directory and could not 
   log in using admin access. – all attempts were directed back to this page.
    So
   I reinstalled V2.7 as I did not want to go tot he latest version and got it working
   again. Changed my passwords and thought it was sweet. 24 hours later it had reverted
   to the original problem again.
 * Then I upgraded again to latest version – changed passwords again and it happened
   again.
 * I have no idea what is happening or how I can diagnose what the problem is – 
   if the site has been hijacked or what to do – can anyone help?

 * Energiser,
 * Does your site address include /blog because [http://www.greenfoodsonline.co.nz/](http://www.greenfoodsonline.co.nz/)
   seems to be working correctly. Check that you have listed the address correctly
   under Settings > General. Look for WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (
   URL). Let us know what happens next.

 * Thanks Doc4, yes the main site is working but the blog had been integrated so
   it looked and felt like the site. I had an old theme which I ahve also upgraded,
   totally reinstalled 2.8.4 and now it is almost looking like it should at [http://www.greenfoodsonline.co.nz/blog](http://www.greenfoodsonline.co.nz/blog).
   What I really want is to prevent this from happening again and I don’t quite 
   know how to protect agaisnt this. Have changed passwords again. One thing that
   I did notice was that the admin password had gone, but I also had another login
   as another admin level user but it wasn’t much good anyway as i needed to completely
   reinstall.
 * Anyd diagnostic tools to find out how and where it went foul?
 * This blog was working fine for about 18 mths. Then bam! And not any upgrade or
   anything. I had been delaying for too long maybe and should’ve done it earlier.
