spam has hit buddypress websites

Since last day my website started getting lots of members which looked like a bot registering on my website. I kept on deleting them, but new profiles are being created after a few hours. I googled one of those spam usernames (i.e ludingam -google url- http://goo.gl/pEhsx ) and found that the same profiles had been created on several buddypress websites in a span of 2 days. What exactly is causing this? Is this due to some malware in a buddypress plugin or a work of a buddypress spammer?

We could do with updated recommendations of antispam software, right enough.
Fortunately, deleting spammers is easy and take their posts down the tubes with them, but it is a chore.
