    Thanks for providing the names of the users. I’ve gone ahead and tagged this thread for Staff assistance.

    Hi there,

    Thank you for reporting these users. I know this is annoying, but I also want to reassure you that there is no way these spam followers can put your site, your content or your private account data in any danger.

    If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.

    Is there a way you can block them? Like the way you blocked the outlook users in the email follower attack?
