Today, I woke up to 8 notifications that comments have been left on one of my client's WordPress websites. The only problem is that I don't have commenting enabled on any of this site's pages. The curious thing is that the comments were left on attachments.

What is going on here and should I be concerned?

Thanks!

How can a bot leave a comment when no comment field exists?
