Spammers

Posted on November 9, 2005 by Ian

Scott pointed out that the comment section has been attacked by spammers. Believe me, this is not the first time. I have a list of about 200 machines that are banned from posting to the site.

What happens is that some people’s home machines become infected with a virus that makes them “zombies” for the spammer, then each one will post a comment (or multiple comments) on my site and a bunch of others. So I can’t just ban one machine, as the attack is effectively coming from random machines. Usually I stay on top of it and delete the comments before you see them on the front page, but they are still usually up on the site for a couple hours.

I actually count it as a badge of honour that the spammers have found my blog (I’m VISIBLE) and spam it. The spam traffic is really low, so it doesn’t REALLY effect anything.

I could leave them for the MD in the family….lotsa great drugs! Cheap cheap cheap!
