Spam trackers should find more ways to track down fake pharmacies, online gambling, adult dating sites, etc.
How can we protect against hackers?

If you are using a CMS like wordpress and such, there are free plugins like Akismet which try to weed out spam comments. Unfortunately due to the complex ways in which spam can be inserted, it should be assumed that a blog/board will always have some amount of spam in it. If a monitoring service can point out the spam in the pages then a webmaster can easily delete the offending comments and ban the IP and user, or something similar.

@Jannese The only way to avoid comment spam when using blogger seems to be to enable "Word Verification" (a captcha) or enable comment moderation. I recommend using both. More information from Blogger: Preventing Unwanted Comments and Comment Spam If you are using WordPress, you have the option of signing up for Akismet. Akismet is a free plug-in that automatically blocks common spam. Of course, even with WordPress, they only surefire way to avoid posting of spam is to moderate all comments.

There are multiple ways to stop this: (1) using plugins like akismet for WP (2) blacklisting the IPs (used to post the spam ) using access to the web server (.htaccess etc..) (3) using a monitoring service which intimates you if a spam link has been posted to your blog.

Of course the details will depend on the kind of CMS, configurations that you have.

Hope this helps,

How do yo stop the spam advertising. My blog comments are being used as a way to leave advertisement for xlpharmacy. I contacted them and they claimed they have nothing to do with it. OH course the person I talk to was some poor sale person that had no idea.
