   Am new to WordPress just started to explore it which was cool but now getting stuck when I try to add the blog :

   http://christlifeinternational.org/blog

   I get an error:

   we could not find
   the xmlrpc endpoint of your blog. Please insert
   the complete url below.

   If I type:

   http://christlifeinternational.org/blog/xmlrpc.php

   I get an error that says:
   An error occurred server returned http response code 408

   I think your blog at http://christlifeinternational.org/blog/ site has been hacked!

   Thanks @daniloercoli just found i was hacked, my antivirus also was blocking the page and when i turned it off saw some funny stuff :"(.. I had to remove the site.. I guess that comes with open source.. I fear that maybe when i posted my question i made my blog vulnerable..

   Are there any steps i need to prevent this from happening coz i wud really appreciate that..

   By the way, if it is important at all.. I used the password generator for mySQL database

   Thanks in advance

   . I had to remove the site.. I guess that comes with open source.. I fear that maybe when i posted my question i made my blog vulnerable..

   I guess the breach was at system level.

   - Make sure you are running the latest version of WordPress
   - If you are using plugins, make sure you have downloaded them from the WordPress.org site, and keep them updated.
   - Make sure your are using strong passwords both on MySql and on WordPress
   - Send an email to your host provider, since i guess the issue is on their systems, or on another site hosted on the same server.
