  Hi,
  Today I recieved a large number of likes on comments from what look like bogus accounts e.g. id6236894.sexyhvqv.website. I added all of these to my black list but I though I would let folks know in case someone is trying to cause difficulties for WP.

  Thanks,
  Jo Fox

  Hi there, the spammers changed tactics, which resulted in a good number of spam likes on people’s posts and comments. Our team have made adjustments to our systems to block these, and are continuing to monitor the situation and make refinements.

  There is a master thread stuck to the top of the main forum page (in yellow) where you can post on this issue so that we can keep the discussion centeralized: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/xyz-like-spam-is-back/
