Because comments spam is such a big problem with blogs I’ll be working extra hard formulating plans to thwart the plans of the dark side. I intend to be guided by Matt Cutt’s set up he has here.
The ones that I find will get the ax. The first night after this blog had been installed it received it’s first comment spam. That shows the extent of the problem. Hopefully the automated spam chopper will get most of the crud, but time will tell.
We have been keeping a seperate credit card account just for online and phone business. If I remember right the idea came from Kim Komando and her newsletter. The idea behind it is that if you ever have it compromised you can kill it, and keep your pocket cards active.
It makes it real easy also to keep track of your online purchases. Just recently our online card started showing problem purchases, and very quickly we were able to isolate it as fraud and have Visa destroy the number. That afternoon I was still able to buy gas.
