Has my WP been hacked or spammed?

4 replies
I keep getting email that says:

[Defeatpanic]New User Registration

And I don't have membership for my site and also I'm probably getting more emails than visitors!

Can anybody advise me if my site has been hacked or whats happening?

How can I stop it, any ideas.

Thanks, and Happy New Year.

    Wordpress blogs allow users to register as subscribers if you don't block it. Sounds like people are subscribing to it.

    If you don't one anybody register on your WP blog you must go to your dashboard the look for:

    Settings --> General --> uncheck "Anyone can register" and save.

    By default, others can register as subscribers in the blog based on Wordpress template.
    So if you don't want others to register in your blog, you need cancel this function by yourself.
