Hi-
Unbeknownst to be, hundreds of blogs have been set up through my WPMU, all apparently spam blogs. How can this happen? How can I prevent it from happening? And are there any quick ways to erase these hundreds of blogs?
I hope this was some exploit that has since been patched.

what version of mu are you running? you should turn on email notification. check your DB and see if its the same IP doing the splogging. i have an outdated version of wp-ban which is still blocking beautifully and i can ship it to you. you can also ban people in your cpanel.

Thanks demonicume, but right now I mostly just want to know how this is even possible, and how to prevent it. Maybe I'm just tired but I can't see a clearly marked option to disallow public registration of blogs, so I can't tell if this is a weakness in the default setup, or an exploit.
?
inkydinky - option is in wpmu-options.php and if you don't have it then you should upgrade. If you're not running the latest stable version you should upgrade anyway.
