Suspicious email from WordPress

  • Unknown's avatar

    I received a suspicious email from WordPress, saying I “recently subscribed” to a blog, when I definitely did not. I worried someone got into my account, so I immediately changed my password?

    How do I report this? Did anyone else receive this?

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

    Somebody probably misspelled their email when trying to sign up to follow a blog. They did not need access to your account to fill in the “follow by email” form. Email follow here is “opt in” to prevent someone from signing you up for a blog you do not want to follow.

    Just delete any email like that. Your account is safe. Just a bit unnerving first time it happens. Your blog is also safe.
