Over the last few days I have had three bits of spam get past the filters and the moderation via an unanticipated back door – trackbacks.
So far it is just one source – a Flickr account which is now defunct and I hope it will prove to be too much trouble for others to try but that is a pretty forlorn hope: nothing seems to be too much trouble for spammers.
I can’t see any way of preventing it so if this spamming method becomes more common the only solution I can see is to turn off trackbacks, unless anyone knows a better way to trap this sort of thing in WordPress.
