Folks, my blog had been hit by
spammers when I turned off the spam word verification option for submitting
comments on my blog. If you received messages on your email coming from my blog
mentioning about pornographic contents, I did not send them to you. I found the
comments from spammers on the spam folder on my blog and deleted them all.
I was alerted by one of my blogger friends
here, Luke Regler he received strange messages from my blog. Last month two of my blogger friends Jean and
Rolf advised me of virus alert they encountered upon visiting my blog. I
thought it was coming from the one page ad I had before. I turned off the one
page ad. I also suspected the chat box I once had in here as being used by
spammers. I deleted the chat box.
I
turned on the word verification again to prevent these spammers from posting
comments on my blog. Please feel free to post me comments had you received some
inappropriate message from my blog. Also
your suggestions are welcome to secure our blogs. I would suggest you check
your spam folder from time to time. We bloggers must unite to stop these vermin
from creating havoc on our blogs. Thank you for understanding.

didn't blogger already have enabled auto span detection for comments ?
anyway i understand your situation JP..prevent is better than cure..
even i don't really mixed-up with word verification, as long as it's readable for my eyes, still okay for me..
Hi JP,
This is a lesson for us who are using Blogger/Blogspot as a platform for blogs.
spam is automatically turned on by google,
thanks for sharing info.
Never ever turn off automatic spam detection of google.
@pipoq - I do not really know how this spam detector works. I they just want attention. @H. Nizam - Yes, Harry I had forgotten for a while they existed on the net. @sm - Thanks for sharing your thoughts my friend. Appreciate it.
