Die spammers, die!

You probably haven’t noticed it, (because the filters are doing their job) but this site has been the focus of some persistent spamming over the past week. As I’m sure anyone will tell you, spam, especially comment spam is pretty annoying. As usual most of it is for pharmaceutical products, but what’s interesting is where it’s coming from, Korea. I can’t help but wonder if this has anything to do with the recent trade embargo against North Korea. Anyway, I’m blacklisting the IP space of the offenders, so if you suddenly find yourself having to view my site through Google’s cache, that’s probably why.

  1. Lorelle has a nice article on her wordpress blog about some of the tools and techniques she’s used to keep comment spammers out. I’ve used mostly the same strategy to keep the spammers out. Obviously from the lack of comments, my blog isn’t exactly high-traffic, but it would seem that’s not important to the spammers of the world. In any case, if you’ve got comment spam problems and don’t know what to do, check out Lorelle’s article. You may find it helpful.
