Our sister site CA suffered at the same time. There was a influx of email addresses from Russia including

@ro.ru
@bk.ru

In a single day there were 60+ registrations all with suspicious email address.

When you are checking each individual registration it can be time consuming. I’ve blocked certain domain names now

Silly thought, but are you running the StopForumSpam extension? It keeps a lot of strange registrations off my board.
