  Within the past few weeks, I have received email notifications of about a dozen new followers on my wordpress dot com blog. All have Outlook email addresses. I did not invite any of them.
  Only one of the email addresses has appeared on the My Site follower list. This has never happened before and I am concerned it may be some type of spam issue or security threat. I am not a tech type person and would be grateful for any advice. Should I be concerned? If so, what steps can I take to make sure my site is secure? Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
