I had a similar hack happen. I had about 7 comments on a blog, in  
Russian, from an anonymous user. I have permission set so only  
registered users can make comments. Hmmm... I deleted them, but wonder  
what I should do to stop this in the future. I did set capcha so that  
comments require it. Drupal 6.19.
Regards,
Bill
