Trackback spam.

January 5th, 2005
Ugh, I just got a huge mountain of trackback spam. [Came from a handful of machines, most likely virus-compromised (they all seemed to be home broadband users), all linking to a Russian site.] I was hoping not to have to add a captcha, but maybe that’s unavoidable. (Update: Yes, I know captchas are useless for trackback. Will need to find another way.)
Responses are currently closed, but you can trackback from your own site.
