Dear Anandi Hristina: WTF?

9:23 pm — meta, wtf

I got a mysterious post at one of my blog entries. I googled Anandi Hristina, the poster’s name, and found some other random site that promises to solve the mystery of who the hell this person is, and what the hell they want.

The post came from 208.184.65.85, an AboveNet IP registered to “APS Communication” in San Jose, CA, under “Pablo Espana” at phone number 888-210-6539. It was spoofing (?) an MSN spider user-agent.

Is it a spambot checking for open posts on blogs? But, why bother? If it posts, just post it, and if it doesn’t, move on. Why verify?

A new worm, maybe, seeding its ground zero for an attack on Wordpress installations?

Or maybe just a spammer who got caught and didn’t update their spambot.
