Spam attacks

Since automattic spamming of blogs has mostly been reduced to a trickle due to the likes of Akismet, spammers are now individually targeting blog posts with highly relevant, and in many cases highly convincing comments. I moderated and subsequently spammed a comment today that was over a hundred words long, on the pros and cons of one of the themes on our daily theme posts. I thought the comment was a very well written review of theme until I looked closely. The URI of the poster was a refinancing Made For AdSense page. One click of my itchy index finger and it was gone. – - via Weblog Tools Collection.

Thing is, these spams attack are very annoying. My Akismet has caught around hundreds since last week. Most of my spam comes from gmail user account emails. I don’t know if it is caused by my post, my regular visits to adult sites or just merely a coincident when I mentioned previously that a “COCKroach” was resting on the back of my Mac. It’s like when refreshing the browser, spams gets thru in nanoseconds.

Has anyone noticed this? I mean, do you think I should moderate comments na muna?

Kapish!
