Spam trackback attack returns, it’s not a matter of whether but how much

Raymond Chen

Like microsoft.com, the question isn’t whether blogs.msdn.com site is under attack but rather how bad the attack is right now.

There are a number of regular culprits, like codedstyle.com, anith.com, simplynetdev.com, but those sites tend to focus on the most recent few articles. A new category of trackback spammer is here: The I’m going to scrape your entire site and create a trackback for every article trackback spammer.

I’m pretty sure this will continue for at least the next week. I think I’m going to have to write a script that auto-deletes all these bogus trackbacks.
