So ever since the latest round of foolishness with DRG, the comment spam to this blog has gone from 1 or 2 entries a day to almost 50 a day. You know, comments full of nonsense words and dozens of links to all kinds of crap sites, that sort of thing.

Usually none of them are actually posted, thanks to automated spam blocking software, but I was curious as to why the sudden increase. Of course I would never accuse DRG servers of directly targeting a site they don’t approve of without proof. I did learn something interesting though.

Remember ‘DeathBG’, who was an obvious shill for DRG? His IP information tracks back to here:

OrgName:    RIPE Network Coordination Centre
OrgID:      RIPE
Address:    P.O. Box 10096
City:       Amsterdam
StateProv:
PostalCode: 1001EB
Country:    NL

I looked up the info for the IPs of the last 10 spam posts – 8 of those 10 IPs resolved to the exact same information.

I’m sure that’s just a coincidence though.

(Which reminds me – I always keep redundant copies of TheMook.Net archived off-line, so no worries there … but if the site does get hacked, I think we all know from where such an attack would come).
