Attack of the spambots

I just checked the comments on my entry about Microsoft's failure to produce a decent phone OS. I had 32!! Oh boy- I must have really hit a nerve- Not. All were spam. All came in a 4 day window. I guess the pattern is meaningful.

My hypothesis:

Spambots wake up on a periodic schedule, run wild for a few days, then get shutdown to avoid discovery (assuming they are running on compromised machines).

I have to watch for this pattern again to confirm.

Or maybe I just blog about microsoft again- perhaps they are behind it?? Tongue out
