Unmaintained WordPress tends to get tons of spam comments regardless of how you do it. However, today, it's a weird day.

<a href="http://blog.10ninox.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Screenshot-2014-10-28-18.15.27.png"><img src="http://blog.10ninox.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Screenshot-2014-10-28-18.15.27.png" alt="Spammers request?" width="678" height="683" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-986" /></a>

I got a request from one of spammers that the links they put on my mom's blog was hurting them. So I checked that out. I didn't even remember the password since it wasn't maintained and my mom apparently hasn't blogged for many years already.

<a href="http://blog.10ninox.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Screenshot-2014-10-28-18.26.05.png"><img src="http://blog.10ninox.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Screenshot-2014-10-28-18.26.05.png" alt="spammy-comment" width="676" height="611" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-987" /></a>

This is what I've found. The same IP addresses have spammed not only to this web site, but another as well. I suspected this firm did hire spammers for SEO or whatever, but now it's damage control phase, huh? I have no clue what they are trying to do here since comment section on my mom's blog isn't even reachable. I migrated to Disqus years ago.

The question was why the heck would I care? It sounds to me like he wants me to clean up his shit he dumped on my porch. If anyone has this sorta experience, please enlighten me.
