Boy, did that piss me off. I figured that my blog is pretty new and fairly obscure (only thirty or forty readers a day according to my logs) and so I wouldn't be a target for spammers.
No such luck. So I'm updating my MT installation to 2.661, hoping that that will help somewhat and I've installed MT-blacklist. What a great little piece of software! It has allowed me to delete all the crap from my comments and "immunize" myself against possible further attacks.
Don't know if this will work (protection against further attacks) but at least I'm happy to have repaired the damage so quickly. Be forewarned! I'm donating via PayPal to the developer and I urge you to install this software if you are using MovableType.
