There have appeared hundreds of communities on my instance I have never searched. Where do they come from? Is it some spam attack? How do I prevent this, and how do I get rid of them?

it’s hard for me to believe that 11 users could have searched so many communities

There are a half-dozen scripts that do this automatically. It's entirely believable.
