    Good luck getting rid of all of the new spam messages. Does anyone know of a good service which can stop spammers like this?

    Please also check your database to confirm if credit card details and passwords have been compromised.

    Thanks,

    one anti-spam measure is to have each post type a random code into an input field. A real pia but it works, apparently.

    Wow, that spam attack was crazy. I logged onto the site this morning and it was 90% spam.

    Big thanks to the mod for cleaning it up.

    Cheers
