In fact, I have my hosting company investigating it even as I type this. Each web address has a unique IP address, and each hosting account has a unique login. They (low-life hackers) use a program that uses brute force password crackers to stuff passwords until they get a hit. Since I video steps showing how to create sub domains, install Wordpress (and the like), I frequently display my control panel. While I block out certain fields, they may have found my user ID and gone from there. All we can do is change passwords frequently, report any problems and work hard to stay a step ahead. It's a full time job since these losers have nothing better to do. Anna, it’s not a dumb question, just one that can’t be answered easily.

Dumb question – how do they get in?
