WordPress Spam and Attacks
My phone turns of the sound from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. every night. Normally this works just fine, even on weekends, but this morning at 6 a.m. my very pleasant chime that I’ve put on my Nokia E61i for email notification started chiming every couple of minutes! I was getting hammered with “comments” added to my site (which are always moderated), and then I got a message from Google that my blog had been compromised. It’s fixed now, but it’s annoying!
Being in the anti-spam business myself, I DO know that there must be SOME return on “investment” for these folks. I mean, if every site blocked their missives, if no one clicked on a link, if no one bought their wares, they would stop right (well, all but the most anti-social of the bunch I guess)? But my WordPress “spam” has become almost as back as my email spam! All I can say is “grumble”.
So anyway, I’ve fixed the problem, and asked Google to recheck the problem, but for those of you who got a warning accessing the site this morning, so sorry!
Stay cool (I have that on the brain right now, living in the Denver area!)

What, me worry? We have all faith in you oh Goddess. It was probably just someone trying to keep you on your toes so they don’t care about ROI.
