I consider this to be true, since there has been a ‘spammy’ post added to their blog by a fake user. there is also a URL in that post which is spam.

Looking back over my own website logs, I can see substantially more hits (in the 100′s within 5 days) on this exact post (on my own blog that you are reading at the moment) …. from Russian .RU IP addresses’s … This all happened in the week before the Spiritual Magazine website was compromised.
Perhaps the Spiritual website was compromised due to hackers discovering the website through the link here???? just a stab in the dark.

Earlier this week, I contacted the blog owner and let them know about the spammy post, but as yet – they haven’t removed the post (but I feel only part of this issue, perhaps a compromised wordpress site?).

Also worth noting … the spiritual website was hacked over 1 year after I posted this … so certainly rules out any speculation as to that being a cause as to why Bunnings blocked the site altogether.
