New BLOG already getting attacked! That's great news
August 10th, 2007 at 8:06 pm   starstarstarstarstar      

Hello.  You may have noticed the two empty BLOG posts around 7:30 PM EST.  Since we have high visibility in the Search Engines we are often a target of spammers.  The previous Word Press BLOG was catching probably 100-200 spam posts daily.  So our new BLOG is getting tested every minute :)

 

That is great news because it allows us to improve the code very quickly so that you won't run into these issues.

 

The two empty BLOG posts were random attempts to exploit our code to submit spam without our permission.  The spam failed but the posts did send.  Sergey is resolving this issue now (no, he never sleeps).

 

Of course all spam and security upgrades we perform will immediately transfer to your BLOG code as well.

 

Another big advantage of our BLOG is the "Image Text" field that requires a real live person to read and re-type text displayed in an image.  This makes a substantial decrease in automated spam attempts.

 

You can see the "Image Text" field when you post comments in this BLOG.

 

Thanks and let us know if you have any questions!
