WpSender2.1 Soft: Auto Submits WordPress Comments
January 4th, 2009I have been recieving some WordPress spam comments originating from a new automatic comment submitting tool called WpSender2.1 Soft. Akismet has still not started marking them as spam.
The comments are automatically (its actually automaticilly, note the wrong spelling) submitted by the software WpSender2.1 Soft, uses different domain names, and some randomly generated numbered email, and usually the same name. It seems the tool is available for $10 when you email them.
A quick Google Search reveals that such comments are being posted on several blogs and are also being indexed by Google. After hundreds of paid comments spammed our blog using buy quality comments services, we have become wary of any suspicious comments. Are you getting such comments?

Not yet. Not on my .ro / english blogs at least.
But I think it’s something “normal”. Every time a good CMS like wordpress takes off and gets used by lots of people there will be other people trying to exploit it’s weaknesses.
If wpsender gets to be used by a lot of people akismet will have a hard time blocking them. The messages will come from differents hosts / IPs with different messages. Unless it has a specific header / behavior it can get impossible to catch.
I am too getting the same spam comments on my blog too :( Its becoming hard and hard to handle these spams, as particualr softwares are launching to do spamming jobs automatically.
Just got hit with this today and Askimet didn’t pick it up either. I’m using Intense Debate for my comments so I just blocked it with that for now. Hopefully Askimet hurries up and puts this in its watch list. At least you’re ranking no 1 in Google so less people will get their hands on this lame software.
Damn spammers, I would use WP Ban to ban theme all. Thanks
I am getting the same spam comments on my blog too :(~
But Askimet pick it up.
Haven’t received any such comment. Haven’t checked the spam queue for this however.
My main irritation is the number of “relevant” comments which are actually spammy.
ddaa, iddia, iddaa sonuçlar?, maç sonuçlar?
Exactly why I’m reading this page now. Got the same comments but apparently the price is now $20. Googled it and found this post.
I just got several comments just today. The IP of the spammer is 221.206.142.218.
Yep! Just got 2 today.
Yeah I got it too and it says $20 not $10. Seems there is a slight price change. lol@
Yes, a fresh wave of these comments has started again and now they charge $20. Seem to be getting popular. A few comments always slip through moderation.
a bad news for wordpress
I am very sorry that you, my comments have caused trouble to the software to you.
