Some are calling it a “spam epidemic.”
Major blogs have been hacked and were pointing hidden links to spam sites, reports Blog Herald.
Tony has discovered that ZDnet appears to have been impacted. In addition, Kevin Burton who is the founder & CEO of Tailrank comments on the significant impact of what he calls a ‘blog spam epidemic’. CenterNetworks also has some coverage of the issue.
Check your code for anything suspicious since if the A-list sites can get fooled, then the little guy is at huge risk.
I pulled the plug on NWIblogs.com for a little while because I had people from Russian domains and other strange places wanting to sign up for an account. Why would someone from overseas want to blog about Northwest Indiana issues? I don’t think they did anything to the blog, but since the A-listers were getting attacked, I figured it might be good to check through everything over the weekend just to make sure.
I also want to rethink the idea in a way that will be easier for me to maintain the site — I’m thinking about writing posts about various NWI blogs that are interesting in a category on this blog and have a page with links to all of the various NWIblogs out there.
