[spam report] question 153152 comment spam, John Umenwoke's account hijacked

Asked by Eliah Kagan

The user "John Umenwoke" (https://launchpad.net/~gumeh1) was a legitimate user of Launchpad, but his account was apparently hijacked recently. His post yesterday in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+question/153152 (post #11, which changed the question's status from Expired to Open) was spam.

I've removed the comment. It appears to have (so far) been a one-off.

Additional spam has now come from John Umenwoke's apparently still-hijacked account. See post #12 from about 3 hours ago, in the same question (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+question/153152).

I've removed the new comment as well and suspended the account for now. It should not be a problem to reactivate the account if John asks us to and confirms he's checked for any problems.
