Accounts being created using my email address
-
Hello,
Tonight I received dozens of emails from various websites asking me to ‘confirm email to register account’ and among those were quite a few from WordPress telling me the username and title of what appear to be new blogs created with my email address. I think my information is being used by bots to register for any website they find. I would like to remove all of these spam WordPress accounts that are apparently signed up using my email address. Can anyone help?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @simmonstospain, we can definitely look into this for you. Are the emails going to the account listed here?

Yes all of the emails are being sent there. There are dozens of them. I can forward the support team the emails or copy-paste the information (the name of the blog created and username and password that is in each email) to this thread if it will help for you to know what accounts to remove. Or basically just remove any blog that is not “simminstospain” that is connected to that email, and prevent that email address from creating any more blogs.

@simmonstospain they must not be from us; our logs indicate we’ve only emailed you once so far, to notify you of an update on this thread.
I’ll email though so you can send the headers for those messages, and I’ll see if we can point you in the right direction. Cheers :)
