And The Attack (Still) Continue…
I got another malware alert from Avast this morning when I was in a hurry trying to finish up my dropping. Unfortunately, I didn’t know which blogs had this malware because I had several blogs opened at the time. Should I had known it, I would inform the blog owners because most likely, according to this, it was another malware attack to WP sites hosted on GoDaddy. So if your blog is on GD better be careful because the attack still continue…
And maybe this and this can help you to identify the malware.
I have to say, “I’m glad my blogs are not on GD”
And oh did you see bats flying around when dropping EC? I saw them, five times to be exact…
Not A Good Record
Two posts last month and not a single post until the third week of this month. Hmm… not a good record for a blog! I’m beginning to think that maintaining two blogs is not as easy as I thought. However, I just renewed my domain last month and two weeks ago I also extended my hosting plan for another year. So I guess this blog is still running, and hopefully I’ll be more active posting
Spammers Copying Comments?
Today was the day to clean up my spam folder. It becomes my routine to get rid of spams every time I saw their numbers already exceeded the amount of real comments. And shame on me, I was almost fooled by spammers today.
As usual those spams mostly contained a bunch of unreadable characters, or some foreign languages with “cialis” and “viagra” mentioned several times, or the endless “I bookmarked your blog” comments. However, today I also saw few familiar comments among those spams, comments that were previously approved and published. So I thought they were accidentally being marked as spam and (without thinking twice) I just re-approved them.
It took awhile for me to realize something was wrong (yes I was slow, thankfully Askimet was not). I knew I made big mistakes republishing those comments when I saw a girl name was used for a guy author. Here’s the comment:
That spammer copied the content of my published comments along with the commentluv codes, but somehow failed to get the original author’s name, and resubmitted them. I wonder if this will become a trend for them.
Anyway, so I ended up finding those recently republished comments, remarked them as spam then deleted them. Luckily they were all under two names, Amy and Michelle (why use girl names by the way), so it was easy enough for me to find them back. I wonder if there’s a way to kick those spammers out before they managed to leave comments because I’m getting tired deleting these spams.
