A common problem with Drupal and in general with very popular applications are "Spam bots" attacks. This type of attack is based on up-to-date software versions and / or security issues to insert unwanted comments.
In Drupal, one of the ways to block comments is to disable them. This can be done from the Drupal >> Administer >> Content >> Content Types administration section. Edit the content type and make sure comments are off.
Alternatively, you can disable comments directly from MySQL by running the following command:
update system SET status = '0' WHERE filename = 'modules/comment/comment.module';To separate real users from bots we recommend using a captcha system. You can combine it with Akismet for added safety.
