Spam Storm

Over the past 6 hours, I’ve gotten around 300 pieces of comment spam! Akismet is pretty good about catching it, but lately a lot more has been getting through. I’m not sure if that’s because Akismet’s just not as good as identifying this stuff or if there’s just a much higher volume of them in general with the same small percentage always getting through. Either way, most of the stuff that’s getting through surprises me. It’s mostly very obvious stuff with the names of specific drugs mentioned. Ugh. Maybe my version of the plugin is out of date or something.

What version do you have? I have Akismet 2.0 and it seems to be about 99.5% accurate (1 or 2 misses for 300 spams). I haven’t seem a flood of spams today, but last week I got a whole bunch.
boo, my other comment got tagged as spam!
