  Is it possible to have your followers number hacked? My blog had 1,080+ followers & today it says it has 117. Also, all the follower numbers in my Site Stats have changed and are now much lower. I’m worried my blog has been hacked, but nothing has happened to any of the content that I have checked so far. Any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else? Perhaps it’s a WordPress glitch? Thanks very much :)

  There’s a sticky post at the top of the forum about it. You haven’t been hacked.
