  I keep getting emails to my personal email telling me to moderate ‘Home’ on my web site and giving web addresses to click on.

  I have comments turned off, so these emails are phishing presumably. But how did they get my personal email address?

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hello there,

  To check, what are the email addresses these are coming from please?

  Also, I see that pages are draft currently on the site – are you able to tell me the URL referenced in these emails please?

  Thank you. Those look like they’re probably email accounts of real people. I’ve redacted the list.

  I keep getting emails to my personal email telling me to moderate ‘Home’ on my web site and giving web addresses to click on.

  What are those web addresses? And just to confirm, are these notifications about davidbalderstone.wordpress.com or some other site?
