Spammers are relentless; online users need to be, too

(Nov. 13, 2013) -- We made the switch the weekend of Oct. 26. In the past seven days, our spam control system has rejected 4,689 spam comments. That's about 28 an hour from various robots and people in third world countries trying to get links for drugs, boots, jewelry and just about everything else posted to stories on our website. What is even more disturbing and eye opening is the number of intrusions that have been blocked by hackers looking to access our website to get user information. We have blocked more than 20 IP addresses in the past week alone.
