The Curious Case of Roze Zara (No Pictures)

This was a novel twist to an old trick,but this time with a pretty face to honey trap you in.

A comment posted in relatively good English asking for a blogging engine recommendation (curious as I am using Googles' already), but then slips in some dubious links for the unwary at the end

"Roze" really, I'm a married man!

Anyone also else getting visits from unseen Chinese "Friends(?)"

A curious tale to tell, especially since I was just listening to a Radio 4 program yesterday describing the activities of Chinese Internet hackers (state-sponsored or not), particularly as I was looking at the different countries making access to this blog.

English speaking ones I can understand (even as second or third language), but I ask you who in China would want to read this blog?

The timing also ties in with the "comments" I rejected as obvious spam in the past few days or so. In my log I see various entries from China, one of which I show below:

Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China
Chinanet-zj Hangzhou Node Network (61.164.40.14)
www.qq829.com/web_stat.asp?dn=exiledfog.blogspot.com
(Don't go there folks just search on "qq820" in Google) 

Perhaps if I paint my 1/72 IMEX Chinese Liberation army kits I'll get a few more! Security wise anything has to be done on the Server as they host the pages.

Your thoughts and comments appreciated.

Rejected my first spammer comment today

FYI:

Somebody going by the userid "evision" tried to post several comments on my blog. From what I could see it was merely a blatant link to an online "make bucks" scheme. Seeing as these things are invariably scams of one sort or another and of no interest to the wargaming community the comments were rejected.

Is this the start of a trend?

Your thoughts, experiences and comments appreciated.
