Follower's possibilities?
-
Recently I got a very unusual follower with her own private blog in a very different language. My blog is public and in a language relatively few persons use, in global aspect. So it is difficult to see the motivation to follow. It is just confusing. I do not intend to follow her porn-blog.
I should not be paranoid about this, but it could be useful to get other people’s opinion. Is this a kind of advanced phinishing, first get my email-address, then give me virus and spam etc. ? What possibilities may such a user have to attack?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If someone has an inappropriate rating for a Gravatar image, please use the “Report Abuse” link on their Gravatar profile bottom right hand corner to let Staff know.
If the follower has an inappropriate blog hosted here at WordPress.com, you can also report that to us so we can deal with that: Report Mature or Spam Blogs http://en.support.wordpress.com/report-blogs/

Thanks for support. She poses in a sexual way half nude in her gravtar picture and in text tells about nudity in her blog. Her blog is marked as private and is no problem. I reported her gravatar.

Spam followers are usually looking for traffic to their sites. They will only have your email address if you subscribe to updates to their site through an email address not associated with a WordPress.com account or if you leave a comment on their site. Or if you have your email address published publicly on your site.
Does that clear up your concerns? Let me know if you have more questions.
