I've only now gotten a response from Blogger support (about the above casino site), stating Turnaround times of well over 24 hours aren't exactly helping here, though - this spammer has moved on long ago. Blogspot spam ... and slow responses
You could try this:
Use a browser with JavaScript turned off (or no JavaScript support, like lynx) to access the blog. View the source and search for where it says: <iframe src="http://www.blogger.com/navbar.g?blogID=XXXXXXX"; Copy the number that I have marked with XXXXXXX and add it to the following URL (where I've put XXXXXXX again): http://www2.blogger.com/flag-blog.g?nav=4&toFlag=XXXXXXX Then paste that URL into a browser with JavaScript again and see what happens. The URL given is what the "flag this blog" JavaScript on blogger pages seems to call. It should be fairly easy to write a little program that would do this semi- automatically.

Thanks. I may even try that on occasion, assuming I start caring about spam blogs at blogspot.com again. What makes me stop caring (and instead just discarding anything that contains "blogspot.com") is the complete lack of response and action from Blogger. Today, I received a spam post that contained 252 different blogspot URLs, most of which contained popular drug names in their title (something like tramadol-something-or-other.blogspot.com, etc.). Why is it still possible to create blogs with those names? And how is it even possible to create over 250 of them? And am I supposed to report each one of them individually, using either that silly flag (for which I would have to defeat the redirect first, as described above) or through the "report a spam blog" form, which only allows one(!) URL at a time? No, I think Blogger doesn't care about spam blogs any more. And so I won't care about Blogger / blogspot.com any more. Blogspot spam
Sorry, I forgot your OWN spam detect engine filters out info about spam :( I meant to say " some blog spot pages are loaded with nasty stuff that sets off ant-viri guards. This seems to be a revenge thing by some spammers Blogspot spam
I don't think it's a revenge thing. They're just trying to aquire more spambots. I.e. you visit that site, your PC gets infected and is then acting as part of a bot network. They are hosting these things everywhere they can - hacked sites, free sites, etc. Too bad that Google (who owns Blogspot) seem to be unable (or unwilling?) to fight these sites (both the spam blogs and the sites spreading malware). |
