UPDATE: Spam removed, security enhanced, spammer squished.
Spammers hit again! I realized very late last night that my website was hacked and was redirecting to some male performance enhancement sites. I apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused on your side.
On my side, Goggle no thinks I am really into male drugs and there are a bunch of weird keywords all over the place. So far, I contained the damages but I still need to clean my WordPress php in order to remove any spammer-injected code.
As a result, now I added a bunch of security features, most of which are invisible to the readers. A noteworthy and certainly not invisible feature is the use of CAPTCHAs in the comments and the login area.
For those who are curious, the spammer probably injected some redirects using the comments feature.
Hola carli te felicitamos por tus adelantos en robotica son muy interesantes, sincermante es muy novedoso todo lo que el robot NAO hace, recibe saludos de todos desde Argentina
I had some similar issue but not that big. You should try “bad behavior” http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bad-behavior/ for word press.
Also I don’t use a captcha, I use something way more geeky! Check my blog.

Thanks for the cool plugins, I will definitelly consider them. It is true that a resistor colour selector would significantly increase the geekiness of my site.
