Spate of new followers – virus issues?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have received quite a few emails recently saying people have just started following my blog parrygraph. This should be a good thing. But I am not posting on my blog at the moment and I haven’t had interest for a few months. And then suddenly more than 5 people have started following. Is there some virus issue?

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

  • Hey there,

    Sounds like you were affected by the onslaught of Outlook.com emails. Outlook.com spam is an issue that we are in the process of addressing. I have reported this internally and we’ll get it cleaned up soon for you.

    Thank you!

    Hi
    How did you go with this issue? It seemed like it stopped for a while but has started again in the past few days.
    Cheers,
    Karen

    Having the same issues again! but as they do not show as new followers on my site I assume they are being blocked . I still am getting e mail notifications that they have started following. I have also had an increase in very unsavory comments in spam including ones linked to other peoples comments on our posts.
