Dont Click The Link From Spam Comments, It May Harm Your Datas
It was almost one month from now I have started to delete the spam comments which are kept by akismet due to some issues; The main reason is it queued some genuine comments in the spam list, So today I would like to share my experience with the spam comment.
When I noticed more spam comments of almost more than 1000 comments on the spam of the aksimet status, I tried to see such spam comments and decided to delete the unwanted comments, Most of them are linked with some external sources like purchase Viagra online, Play poker games on online etc and whatever you name it related with spam comments, why I decided to analyze the spam comments are mainly for a reason my readers are frequently suffered from them.
Spam
As I said in this topic I haven’t much aware about to analyze the spam comments since one day I found a genuine comment queued on the spam and one of my loyal reader who commented on my blog post and she doesn’t see her comment approved for a long while and she sent an E mail to me to move her comment from spam and requested to approve them , Thus I aware about spam comments and Now I check the spam comments once in a week and pass genuine comments, delete all unwanted comments to keep my blog risk free.
Also one day when I analyze the spam comments to delete and found a link related with my niche topic, I decided to click the link to see what is the dealing behind it, Suddenly I informed a security warning and with in fraction of second I lost all my important data’s from my PC due to some malware.
Keeping hundred thousand comments are not an important than keeping a single comment with spam free environment, So take care about spam comments and don’t make a mistake like me to avoid valuable data losses.
