    New user registration on your blog Virgil Cook.com:

    Username: IonitonSpeeli

    E-mail: fghnhjfgh@rambler.ru

    I have received several of these emails and I have found where these users are listed but I do not know why they are there and if I should communicate with them or what?

    If you go into you wordpress dashboard under users and click on ‘Authors & Users’ I get a list of all the signups. See attached:

    This is a part of the list. My question is, How are they registering as a user and should I be comminicating with them or not?

    I would appreciate any help I can get. They do not seem to be hurting anything, but if they are signing in to get updates or more information I would like to respond without the chance of my website being compromised.

    Thank you,

    Virgil

  • How are they registering as a user

    They are probably accessing the WP registration script directly.

    should I be comminicating with them or not

    Your choice but some may be spammers.

    Thank you esmi for your help. I think I may pick one that sounds really legit and give then an email to see where they signed up at. Thanks again.
