Realistic Looking Comment Spam
Posted March 1, 2005 – 2:53 pm by Yakov Shafranovich in Spam and EmailIn the past day or two there were some realstic looking spam comments posted to of the entries in my blog. They looked as follows:
Most are shocked to learn just how un-secure their computer is! The recent Bugbear.B virus was a good example of a modern day virus/trojan that automatically infects your computer through email.
Close those security holes used by adware and spyware to violate your privacy and security, even with zero technical knowledge!
As a result of the recent onslaught of Internet-based virus attacks and their effect on many companies’ operations, some organizations responded defensively by shutting down TCP ports that were vulnerable.
All of these were posted from the same IP address, 69.31.84.187, which has been promptly banned by me. They all lead to some strange looking page with links to some specilized search engines. Apparently, the search engines in question give money for clicks.
