This plugin runs before the blog software and stops them accessing the site altogether so will stop them using your bandwidth. It’s also compatible with Akismet which will still catch anything that gets through.

i do have a spam thingy running – akismet – as that picks up all that standard blog spam that otherwise fills peoples comments. might check for the invisible spam – we were hacked once, a couple of years back – so upgraded a number of things then. just checked for the invisible spam, and not there. so hopefully not that!

There has been some crazy spam activity going on the past couple of weeks which could have been why you exceeded your bandwidth.

You could try installing the ‘Bad Behavior’ wordpress plugin and see if that makes any difference.
