Read your SANS diary daily! http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=3408 Spammers feeling lucky with Google Published: 2007-09-21, Last Updated: 2007-09-21 07:31:49 UTC by Bojan Zdrnja (Version: 2) For quite some time spammers have been trying to hide links advertised in their e-mails. The main reason for this is probably increasing effectiveness of various realtime blocklists, such as SURBL. For those that aren't familiar with SURBL (http://www.surbl.org), it's an RBL that lists list URIs found in spam e-mails. In other words, instead of listing spam zombies or relays, RBLs like SURBLs list sites that are referenced in advertised spams. <SNIP - you get the idea - or click above> On 9/25/07, Steve Ragan <sragan () indy rr com> wrote:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/zd/20070924/tc_zd/215816 I've seen this a lot lately, and I don't see how these sites were allowed. Is there anyone here who can shed some light on this? Steve Excerpt: "A reader, Courtney Cox (no relation to the actress), recently pointed out to me that the top results of recent complex Google searches turned out to be inane Chinese sites that were not even parking sites, just an assortment of keywords that somehow got indexed and brought to the top of the results list. After seeing a few of these sites, I have to wonder what's going on. Is it sabotage?" _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
