Current trends: Same old

   

Nothing too exciting is going on currently regarding webspam.

Quite a few spammers still seem to act on the principle "the more the better", i.e. more links in a single post or more post (attempts) per site. You couldn't be more wrong, guys ...

Someone seems to have bought a lot of porn-related .cn domains and is now burning through them. This is so boring actually that I didn't even bother looking further into it.

One interesting detail about those .cn domains: One such post that just made it through our filters was spamvertising subdomains below tmveeak.cn but the post's content was in Italian (donna famose nude, corso master interior design milano, stuff like that).

We've always gotten an unusual amount of Italian spam on that particular site but I've never really looked into it. That it's now using .cn domains makes me wonder if it's one and the same person behind that spam ...
