    Yesterday I visited a seldom used section of my WP site.
    The Users tab.

    I noticed that an unknown user had set up residence. For an unknown length of time.

    As fast as you could slap a mosquito off your arm, I deleted the user. Then I deleted the other known user leaving me as the only user, as if I was killing snakes.

    Then I changed my administrator pw.
    I also called my Host and took steps to set the site up with a SSL certificate.

    Today, I seem to have control of the website, but do I?????

    Now that I have had the time to exhale.

    Did I do the right thing?
    What else do I need to do to make my site secure?
    Did I delete valuable information about the intruder?

    My website is banging on some VERY powerful hornets nests, and I am a little paranoid of reprisal. Both for me, and my peeps.

    I am not a web designer by trade and have no clue who to trust.
