(Or was it all an elaborate hoax? I dunno.) But there is a project, called Black Frog, in the works, that aims to pick up where blue security left off. This is for email spam, though.

I've activated akismet and bad behavior. Let's see if it helps. If that fails, I'll add captcha. Thanks, everyone! Ok. I’ve activated akismet and bad behavior. Let’s see if it helps.

Bad Behavior catches nearly everything and Kismet the rest. Since I switched I've had one false positive. Highly recommended! Hey Sho, if you’re on WordPress, Bad Behavior and Kismet are invaluable.

Of course not! Because the hosting company receives way too much spam to know what is and isn't legit. Face it, we have a major problem. It is hard for small operators to run businesses on the web and keep up with their email because of all the spam and hacking attempts. We need a bit of viligantism and a back bone by ISPs to shut them down. >> I’ve emailed the hosting company via WHOIS details but it’s yet to be disabled!

I've got a few sites running on the same blog engine I wrote and one in particular has been getting over 30 attempts (I'm currently successfully blocking them!) a day. Mostly from the one IP address which is a compromised server somewhere. I've emailed the hosting company via WHOIS details but it's yet to be disabled! I came across a PHP script called "Bad Behaviour" which I've not tried yet but looks interesting: http://www.homelandstupidity.us/software/bad-behavior/ It's available for a few blog tools / cms but can be added to others fairly easily it seems. Cheers, Rick Hi,

I was contemplating writing a PHP script to do this automatically because their "CAPTCHA" implementation is not actually an image but is in HTML Never got round to it though - too scared! But I guess it is enough to keep them busy for a little while. Guess more people should do it - all the phishing scams are quite funny to fill in with rude random details too - although I don't tend to click on the trackable links...
