My blog has been hacked not once but twice. It took many long hours and days to clean up and put back to safe mode in Google search engine.

Just recently, over three days I received over 2000 spam comments. Probably generated via comment script. People have nothing better to do.

I installed security feature (shown below), but can you believe spam comments are still coming through. Not many now, probably three or five a day, but that means that some individual who has nothing better to do is actually typing spam comments manually.


For those who comment on my blog, before posting a comment you must enter the security words displayed in the box. Sorry for inconvenience, but I don’t have other option.

Then …

Then couple of nights ago, I get telephone call letting me know that I won a ‘Caribbean vacation trip to Florida‘ and by paying one time US$280 on my Visa card I can have it. Dahh …

What a waste of time on my part. I am tired. I just want to blog, and not to worry about anything else. I just want to get calls from people I know and not bogus marketing schemes.

I am tired.]]> https://livinginaurora.ca/complaints/under-attack-hack-ed-spam-ed-telephon-ed-tired/feed/ 4
