A few weeks back I noticed that comments started popping up on my blog that smelled an awful lot like spam. Well, I found out the explanation a day or so ago, there’s some terd-gobbling* doofus who’s released software that will automate posting comments to BlogEngine blogs.
Fortunately, Chris Blankenship posted what I thought was a nice summary of what the software does and how which made “protecting” my blog from further spam pretty simple… I hope.
Now my blog should be relatively safe and I’ve cleaned up all the spam. Thanks to all the jerks who made the past hour of busy work a necessity.
Oh, I heard a rumor that the person responsible has a site that’s vulnerable to SQL injection. I don’t have time, but if anyone has the time and know-how and can bring this idiot’s site down, I would certainly appreciate it :)
*Yes, I imagine that he is using the proceeds from the sale of this malware to purchase the finest excrement for his own personal consumption. I hope he spontaneously combusts.
