Description:
I had new users and spam articles and URLs from

  • Ubiquity Server Solutions / ubiquityservers.com
  • Nobis Technology Group / nobistech.net

It was from the followig ranges:

  • 108.62.0.0/16
  • 64.120.0.0/17
  • 173.234.0.0/16
  • 173.208.32.0/19

I have found spam-seen-entrys about this company from a longer time. I don't know: is this a godd provider or a self spammer or works with spammers.

In Homowiki.de it was the articles:

Do you know they're being bypassed, or are they merely being solved? (Lots of spammers use poorly-paid humans to do this.)

Lowering priority until we can get confirmation that the captcha is being subverted somehow.
