IP 200.63.42.136 in massive blog spam run

IP 200.63.42.136 has been really hammering out the blog spam over the past week.

The reach is quite surprising – it’s taking it’s toll out on popular blogs but also little used blogs we monitor.

According to a WHOIS check, it appears 200.63.42.136 is assigned to Uruguay:

OrgName: Latin American and Caribbean IP address Regional Registry
OrgID: LACNIC
Address: Rambla Republica de Mexico 6125
City: Montevideo
StateProv:
PostalCode: 11400
Country: UY

The fact that the blog spammer isn’t changing their IP, plus the massive reach being applied, suggests that some dumb toad is playing at amatuer blog spamming and aiming to annoy as many people as possible with it.

In addition, the following IP’s have also been involved in strong spam runs the past few days:

78.157.143.242 & 241 – Latvia
195.60.174.21 – Ukraine

Ones to watch out for and consider blocking as and if you need to.
