I have been getting swarmed with an unusual amount of comment spam today. I don’t know who I pissed off, or who got my website and put it in some list to sell Viagra, but akismet has been saving me a lot of hassle today.
Does anyone know how this mass spamming happens? I went from about 5 comment spams a day, to over 200 today alone. Are there spam botnets for wordpress? I am only curious because I had a few slip through the cracks today. It was okay today because I was around to check it every now and again, keeping them off the site. How can I strengthen my anti-spam plugins?
Comments, not spam, are welcome on solving this problem.

Yeah, I’ve been having the same problem, if on a slightly smaller scale.
