Have i been hacked? Or something?
-
WordPress just alerted me via email that SuperIngaSaga just started following my blog. My blog IS SuperIngaSaga and I am the only author and I didn’t “decide to follow” my own blog. What happened? Have I been hacked? Please help solve this mystery. Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Can you forward that email to us? You can let me know here once you’ve sent the email, and I’d be happy to take a look at it to see what’s going on.

Thanks! We received another report about an email like this, so it looks like it may have been an email glitch on our end. I’ve asked our team to investigate the issue.

Hi there,
After doing some digging, we found that a new email follower on your blog caused that email notification to go out — because of how the email address was formatted, it caused some funky issues with the notification. There’s nothing for you to worry about with that, but let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for that info, Rachel. That’s pretty weird, huh? Can I find out who the new email follower is? Happy Thanksgiving!

I removed that follower from your blog for you, since it was just a spammy email address (not a real follower), but they might re-follow your blog later on. In that case, you’ll be able to see them from your stats page here: http://wordpress.com/my-stats/
You can view all of your blog’s followers by going to the “Totals, Followers, & Shares” box on that page and clicking on the “Blog” link.
Please let me know if you have any other questions about that. :) Happy Thanksgiving!
