Perhaps someone out there knows more than I do about spam. Because, for the life of me I cannot figure out what earthly interest anyone (even a degenerated spammer) would have in spam that not only offers nothing for sale, but isn't even readable. Pure gobbledygook, like this:
IP Address: 128.131.36.156
URL: http://645f64c6f83d287b34c.com
Title: e3c0b66724b3d272c
Weblog: e3c0b66724b3d272c
This makes no sense at all, and when I get spam like this, they are typically sent at the same time from multiple IP addresses -- all showing similar incomprehensible gibberish. (I'm getting a lot of them, and they're a pain in the ass to delete with MT-Blacklist, as I have to delete them one at an effing time.)
I have this crackpot theory that people don't do things unless they have a reason.
Anyone out there have the slightest idea what the reason might be?

By the way, Wordpress has a number of spam-fighting plugins, and a "mass-edit" mode for comments.
simply their spam bot is a tard and eefed up its spam. Spam is rarely delievered by a person. Spam is sent my programs that often infest computers like viruses and send the garbage out without the poor host even knowing that its happening.
The purpose of this was someone made a spam bot that probably 80% of the time is efficiently spamming sites, but is ill suited for spamming yours. Case closed??

This post is coming from an AI seeking to attain the next stage. If the number string is read aloud by a device physically modeled on the human voice track its goal will be attained. Whenever I post about odd spam I alter the text just in case.
