Security

Hello all —

In the past few months, I’ve been getting a very high number of registrations on my blog. There is a pattern of email addresses registered for the names of ending in “.ru”.

My concern is that Russian spam traffickers are looking for vulnerabilities within WordPress to use my system for spamming. I know Russia has a huge history of spamming, for whatever reason, so I’m concerned about my security.

However, after frequently reviewing my logs, I don’t notice any security vulnerabilities, rewritten code or other malicious acts.

My question is this: is there something that I should look for in particular? Is there a pattern low level spammers exploit, or is there something sophisticated spam artists look for that I should try to patch? Because these registrations come from Russia in particular, is there a pattern of behavior that Russian spammers are noticed for exploiting?

Thank you much.
