We have disabled commenting on our website due to possibly ill-intended requests

Due to possibly ill-intended comments hitting our website recently we have decided that it was best to disable commenting altogether. One recent comment that was submitted for our approval was sent by someone in Israel (we did an IP address lookup) who provided a German email address and who’s web url linked to a IP phishing website in Saudi Arabia.

This looked highly suspicious to us and made the decision to stop allowing comments in order to ensure the privacy of our visitors. The intent behind this comment seems to be capturing of the IP addresses of the visitors of our site that would happen to click on those comments.

We used an anonymous browsing site to navigate to the provided url and we are reproducing bellow a screenshot of what it says:
