Just giving you all a heads up.
I had installed a forum widget, but did not place it in my site. But a bot found it. Wordpress sent me an email alerting me that I had a new subscriber.
I did my investigation and found the subscriber using a familiar name with an email address from the domain of mini.pancingqueen-dot-com.
When I tried to go to the site, my web security software went crazy telling me not to proceed. I then searched the domain on Google and it listed nothing but bots.

Be on the lookout and do a small background check on any and all new subscribers.
Not sure if this domain is malicious, but to be on the safe side, I deleted the subscriber.
Just wanted to get the word out!
Be Creative and Productive.
All my best,
