Spammers attack Google's Feedburner service
This is amazing. You thought spammers can't get away with captcha, increased security and akismet. Then this is a classic example of what spammers can do. Especially interesting when this happens to feedburner, a company owned by google.

seriously, they just spam all over the web. On average a decent website gets over 25-50 spam comments per day, thanks to akismet we dont have to do the dirty work of removing them

It could be a technical problem. All system has flaws no matter how good people run it; after all they are made by human.

it seems the feedburner foum doesnt have enough spam protection. No akismet or other spam capture plugin installed on that PHPBB board.
