My post earlier this week about the Katherine Harris comment spam from India has drawn quite a bit of traffic and media interest. One of the big questions was if anybody else had received similar comments from India. Turns out there are two other examples.

First up, Idyllopus left a comment on my original post. All the the comments they received never made it through their Wordpress spam filter, but they were all left by an IP from India. Idyllopus has a post about their experience with the Katherine Harris comment spammer.

Some dude dropped by last week and left 3 comments on an old Katherine Harris post. I mentioned it then and how there were 3 different email addies but from the same IP. I nuked the comments.

Same person dropped by last night and left 2 more comments.

Next up is the Last Chance for Democracy Cafe. Greg posted about his experience.

We’ve been getting some really odd spam in the Cafe comments. Most have been caught by the spam filter, but some made their way to the comments holding bin (which were then deleted with glee). They all have different email addresses, but the same IP (click the IP to see the whois info):

What in the world is going on here?
