The buayar Spam

You might have noticed the recent flood of spam comments both here and in other blogs. One thing these spam comments have in common is the word buayar (Google finds 4’610 results at the moment). This makes them easy to block. If you haven’t done so already, update your word blacklist now.

Another thing they have in common is that they point to completely innocent blog sites, usually directly to specific postings. This is of course very annoying for the blog owners because they are then required to fend off all the angry wannabe spam fighters.

I wonder whether there’s a specific purpose behind this new round of spam, or whether it’s just yet another script kiddy vandalism. Got any clues?
