    Hello,
    Here’s what my Cerber Dashboard (Security plugin) displaysI also received these emails

    Now, when I go to my MailChimp Dashboard (even log in to the actual MailChimp website), I see that I have no subscribers. I would like to know how, since there is nothing the visitors can register in besides the newsletter on my website. So, I would like to know who these users are? Are they regular wordpress users who visited my site while logged in? Or did they subscribe to my website by a mean I’m not aware of?
    By the way, I’m using hostagator as website host.

    Thank you

    Take a look at Settings > General in your site’s Dashboard and make sure that “Anyone can Register” is *not* checked.

    If it is, uncheck it, save, and delete those “Subscribers” from the Users section of your site’s Dashboard. (“Subscriber” is just the name of the lowest user level, WordPress itself doesn’t actually send any subscription content.)

    Thank you! I just unchecked the button.
    So, the people I see on the dashboard are actually people who registered on my website, right?

    Yes, the folks under the Users section of your Dashboard are just registered with your site.
