So my blog has been getting spammed like crazy lately; even with the challenge-response prompt that I have in place (which has helped a whole lot).
And I wondered if it was a bot, or a real person.
Today, based on activity logs, I have concluded that it is a person. This is a person from Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal, India, who is clicking one entry at a time, clicking on some comments links while skipping others, responding to the challenge questions one by one, and adding spam comments. I'm talking here of hundreds of consecutive lines activity on the web site's log. I guess this person from Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal, India has NOTHING else to do and must be bored to death, to the point that this person spent 1 hour in 10 minutes reading then spamming, just my blog…
I have a great suggestion to this dude from Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal, India… get a life! Read a book, hell, read my articles, then write some code –> do something productive!
See below some of the stats for this specific spam attack:
