   able to offer much in the way of assistance.

 * A sucuri.net scan of your site comes up clean.
 * It is possible that you may have been the victim of a brute-force password discovery.
 * You have deleted the offending posts – can you tell which username pasted them?
 * If you are using an account called ‘admin’ change it to something else – see 
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress#Security_through_obscurity](http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress#Security_through_obscurity)
 * Change the passwords for all users who can post – or at least the one the spam
   messages were posted under.
 * Install [Limit Login Attempts](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/limit-login-attempts/)
   plugin to prevent brute force retries
