We have a secure blog and I noticed a "visitor" name today that is not among any of those we have given permission to view the blog. At first I thought it may have been someone who found our nonsecure landing page and then tried to register, but there was no record of such. How can that happen? What should we do to further protect against site viewing by those from the outside.?
thanks

Anyone can create an account on your blog or on any blog in our network and then use that account on a blog to identify himself, but the act of logging in just means you have presented your credentials, it does not mean that they were granted access to anything. Anyone can login to your blog, but they will only have access to the content according to the permissions you have granted.
