  Hi! I got notifications of my comments being liked by some user with a suspicious nickname. Here is the screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uFE9iYo3rgzuCorRDWHA9ROR_T2q7kx2/view
  What should my further actions be?

  Kind regards,
  Lina

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

  Hi Lina,

  Thanks for the screen shot.

  We are aware of this issue, and working on blocking these like spammers. There’s not really anything you can do from your end, though if you have comment likes enabled so they’re visible on your blog I’d consider disabling it for now so these spammers’ profile images don’t show up under your comments.

  Please subscribe to the thread @timethief linked to above for further updates on this.

  Hi Kokkieh,

  Thank you for your reply. I followed your advice and disabled comment likes. Hopefully, they are not visible anymore.

  Kind regards

  Hi Guys
  I have received followers to my site over recent months and every single one of them has an outlook.com email address. Very suspicious I think. Any suggestions???
