Spam Attack (The Return)

Filed in: Spam.

Yes, they're back, only they're no longer spamming the URLs of blogs. They appear to be spamming the URLs of lighthouse and quotation sites. Quite what the connection is here, I don't know, though I did spot at least one quotation site which allows comments, and which the spammers had hit...

Comment spam text examples:

I really appreciate what you're doing here. Very interesting site. although I am bringing a change of underwear: http;//www.aphids.com/cgi-bin/quotes.pl?act=ShowListingsForSub , Living well and beautifully and justly are all one thing , An investment in knowledge pays the best interest

Your site is exactly the kind of sites which make the net surfing so fun. Discontent makes rich men poor: http;//www.seathelights.com , when Cards is Soldier it will Lose Round How Linux thin-clients benefit schools , Soldier can Expect Soldier It's the other lousy two percent

Interesting use also of a rel="itsok" attribute on some of the links. Could be used in a text blacklist perhaps...
