the latest net drama

No, I am not talking about some online version of a cat fight between two and or more parties. But the latest online annoyance by a person or persons who have nothing better to do but hit up sites randomly and comment on number of entries with a fake 1st name and a surname, fake email addresses with nonsense wording on the commenting section. 
within a 12 hour period.
After been spammed the person the first 2 times, I was like okay, by the 9th time within a few hours. I started thinking something was fishy. But no where on either of my counters, had the person(s) ip addressed listed, so tracking that way was out of the question. After the 9th time, I declared war and I won by blocking their 4 different ip addresses they been using. The person have attempted a few times since, but has had no luck.
When I was surfing Google, I noticed there was at least 3 pages full about other people been targeted and blogged about it. To learn more please read wp’s own forum.
My questions are now?
1. Is this a testing ground for something more massive? 
2. Was this an an one day thing? Cause I haven’t heard|read anything new about this person(s) spamming other sites.

I’ve been having the exact same issue. I’ve marked 6 comments so far as spam.
I got a couple of those too on the same day I think… it stopped though or else Askimet finally picked it up.
That’s strange. Do you have anything that moderates spam like Akismet or something?
Edit by me: I do use Akismet but the spam just kept coming. So banning the ip’s have worked wonderfully. 14 attempts but no spam for me to read
people needs to get a life. seriously.
