Looks like the spammers have found a way around the spam filters – at least temporarily. Akismet has proven very reliable up until now. A total of 4,300 spams have found there way to the blog over its life – a comparatively small amount compared to some sites. Only about 15 have made it through to actually being displayed – all in the last 3 days.

[UPDATE]The spammers seem to have found a little backdoor – trackbacks do not seem to be scanned as intensively as normal comments. [/UPDATE]

I probably should also add an apology – A couple of the banks I am working with have upcoming APRA visits, so I am working full tilt on helping them prepare, along with my usual work. Normal service should resume in the next few days.
