Spam

Well, I’ve finally broken into my own site. Don’t you just hate it when you forget your password?

I don’t usually use WordPress, Drupal is my weapon of choice, so I was a little confused when I logged in. Then to my horror I saw 960 odd comments. Cool, you might think. Get a coffee and start reading – until you realise that all the comments are spam and you can only bulk delete 20 at a time.

Aargh, still it’s done now, if I delete every time I post, it shouldn’t be that bad.

My pet hate for those comments was the awful English. If you are going to try to trick me into buying somthing at least try and make it look believable. You may as well use red text and paste a picture with SPAM written on it.

I realise that they were probably all robots/crawlers but really? really? Someone must have written them in the first place. I may have to go to trusty Drupal if this persists – I can set up a honey trap then. I managed to catch a couple of Russians with one of my other sites.

Yeehaaa
