I was checking my email when all of a sudden I saw this email "New WordPress Blog". I didn't remembered adding, updating or doing anything with my blog. I thought about it yesterday though. Could it be that WordPress is so smart and read my mind.

Something was fishy, I've already experienced the fact the WP can be hack-able sometimes. I rushed to backup and remove the blog, before the hackers will start messing with me and my visitors.

I was already FTPing when it came to me, even if it was really hacked no need to rush about it, I'll try to find out what happened.

And indeed google [gave the quick answer](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/317305 03766444 "[resolved] Random and unwanted upgrade/reinstall Help!") that if the option database table get corrupted, somehow it gets, WP behave as a new install.  You only need to repair it from the phpMyAdmin, that's it %)

Anyway it's time to redo things in my blog, but without the rush.

The moral is always "google it" before you jump to any assumptions.
