Spam links added to my blogroll — help?

  • Unknown's avatar

    The following links have somehow been added to my blogroll, fairly recently. I’ve changed my password, but am alerting you to this in case this is a security problem more generally.
    The spam links added were stluciaaccommodations.net
    mydubstepstudio.com
    femalemmafighters.com
    waterworldpools.com
    1losangelesduiattorney.com
    lovepsychics101.com
    raspberryketonesdosage.com

    Are you perhaps using any browser extensions? if so, please disable these and see if that resolved the issue.

    Do you also encounter this issue in a different browser? for example Internet Explorer or Google Chrome?

    No, the links were actually added to my blogroll, in that I could (and did) go into my dashboard and delete them from there. It’s not a browser-specific problem or one on my end.

    I can’t say for sure what happened here.

    If you want to make your blog more secure:
    * Please go to your wordpress.com profile page and update your password.
    * Please use a secure password with letters and numbers and other characters.
    * Please do NOT use the same password that you use for email.
    * Please update all of your email passwords to something more secure.
    * Use Two Step Authentication: http://en.support.wordpress.com/two-step-authentication

    Please let us know if you need any further assistance!
