As of today the Bulgarians have switched to trackback spam
Yep, Alexander is in full swing, and now the Bulgarians.
A lot of swearing going on in various parts of the blogosphere right now.
Guys, check your raw logs, and I'm sure you'll figure out how to block them. And if not, e-mail me and I'll show you.
Since I already had them blocked, I don't have any samples of the trackbacks from the Bulgarians. Samples would be received with gratitude.

The Serendipity posted an update to their spam blocker which hopefully will help.. [Read More]

Comments
I got hit overnight. I use the Serendipity blog, and it requires approval of trackbacks and comments to old articles, so the trackbacks aren't shown, but I have to manually delete them from the approval queue.
Here's an example of one:
"Weblog Name: online poker
Link to remote-entry: http://online-poker.psxtreme.com/
Excerpt:
In your free time, check out the sites dedicated to online poker texas holdem online poker"
I don't see any similarities in the web stats log that would make them easy to block. They're using IP addresses from everywhere, as usual.
