Xanga help, I think my account has been cracked into
Please if your familiar with the xanga blogger, I could sure use some help here since I'm new to it and still learning the ropes of how it works.
There is a feature on your homepage that allows you to see traffic to your blogger site and where their accessing it from, location and sites etc...
But I've seen some fishy activity on my footprint page. Someone from NY is actually accessing my blogger site with the same link I used to customize the theme with. This person is using Microsoft Internet Explorer and I think my account has been cracked into, possibly from my e-mail or some other ways.
Does this seem to you like fishy activity ? Do you agree that I should be concerned ?

Actually as an add on I would like to add that this NY fellow who uses Internet Explorer may have something to do with this "unknown" fellow who showed up in my footprint traffic list.....

Go to settings, click on "privacy" on the new page, right below "xanga search" you will see sign-in lock, footprints lock, and friends lock, with radio buttons signalling yes or no. Turn on sign-in lock first, see how that goes. If you are still having problems try higher levels of security.
I am pretty much certain that these are just crawlers from search engines. You've got posts about Linux, video games, emulators, and so on, so you will probably get a lot of hits from searches for those terms. I wouldn't worry.
