2007-08-02Spam[1]I just got hit with a Moldavian spam attack, which consisted of apparently innocent, if rather pointless, comments on some blog posts of mine.

I approved them as I didn’t see any objectionable content, but searched for them online and found out that they are apparently part of a massive wave of comment spam, which they speculate is intended to identify easy targets for later hacks.

If you run a blog or forum site, please read the article linked above and be aware that there are about 20 different names that have been identified as part of the attack.  If they pop up on your site, it’s probably best to trash them even if they don’t seem immediately hostile.
