Spam comments from phishing sites
-
A blogger who goes by the name “anie” frequently likes and comments on the comments I make on blog posts of other people. It seems to be a name used by phishing sites and I am worried about the security of my blog and those I follow. Please help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi. Thank you for the prompt reply.
I have deleted all the comments and have disabled comments on my blog. However, this “anie” frequently likes and comments on comments I make on my friend’s blog : https://nanditayata.wordpress.com
She does that for comments of other people as well.
The strange thing is that we do not know who this “anie” is. She has no blog. She only comments on posts, she does not like them.
Also, in the referrers a “deref-gmx.net site keeps appearing, which may signify phishing activity.
.
Please check the comments on the following post to find a comment of anie :
https://nanditayata.wordpress.com/2017/12/23/in-love-with-my-all/
.
http://bilderweltenweb.wordpress.com is the blog connected to Anie’s name.
.
Please look into the matter. Thank you! -
http://bilderweltenweb.wordpress.com sometimes appears when you click on Anie’s name and sometimes she doesn’t have a blog. Which is strange.

@thegentlestorm I took a look at all of the comments. They seem to just enjoy the site. Sometimes they are commenting while logged in, sometimes not. Sure, you might not know them, but the blog is public.
Phishing implies they are trying to trick you into giving them private information, like a card number or password. What was suspicious here?
