  The address listed above (65.55.85.39/att/GetAttachment.aspx?fi…) is one of several strange ones I’ve received lately that lead nowhere – but when I tapped on this one I got a MacAfee message:
  “65.55.85.39 may try to steal your information.”

  1, Is there a way to block refererrers like this or is there someone I’m supposed to tell about it?
  2. Do you know which of my information they are going to steal? Would it be my wordpress password? Should I change it?

  Thank you timethief.
  Glad to hear that WordPress is aware of Referrer problems and dealing with them.

  Did you let Staff know that your blog is also affected by posting to the other thread?
