When you get comment spam for viagra ads and phishing scams, yep, it's a 
security issue. And your blog doesn't have to be popular. There are 
plenty of bots out there scanning for open comment blogs. Most of the 
comment spam out there appears on abandoned blogs.

See, you *are worried* about blog security. At least enough to do 
something about it.
