Google blog site infected by new wave of scammers

tags: spam · scam
Tipped by TKJunkMail
With blogs being a major source of information for many internet users today, they are an obvious target for malware infection. Troublemakers interested in taking advantage of this fact have been using Google’s Blogger.com to spread computer problems. In some cases, they have embedded code into existing blogs but in a more elaborate plan, they have also created entirely new, highly realistic blogs which spread computer problems, directing traffic to these blogs with spam email messages.

Then you must have a problem with the BBR front page news on most days. Since they use blog posts extensively to further their editorial outlook.

I don't have a problem as I know where to get true and honest information. The people that have the problem art those that believe the 1/2 truths and outright lies. Especially those spewed by Teletruth.

Public disclosure of government activities. Like when Teletruth falsely states Bellatlantic stole billions form Pennsylvania they include voluntary Yellow Pages advertising. When people say that Japan offers 100/100 just look at the Japan telephone company offer and one will see it is only a best effort and not offered to individuals.

It goes on and on and on.
