  I am providing notification of a spam attack, beginning ;8 days ago with several emails:
  (name)@1and1.zuromin.pl and also (name)@pjbals.co.pl. How can I remove them from my followers? Is there anything else I can do to protect myself? Thank you, CJpierson24

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

  Yes, in the past couple of days I’ve have had many ‘follow’ notifications with various @pjbals.co.pl email addresses. No problem with spam comments – yet – and have set up my blog to make sure I must approve any new followers’ first postings. But I wonder what they’re up to. Perhaps this IP address could be blocked by WordPress?
