Here comes the OpenID spam
Friday, May 18 2007 @ 19:42 CEST Contributed by: Dirk
OpenID.org made it clear from the start: What about trust? This is not a trust system. Trust requires identity first. What about spam? Again, this is not a trust system. And now it has happened: The Undevelopment Blog reports the sighting of the first OpenID spam (via Planet OpenID). Just as a heads-up for those who still thought it would help against that problem in any way ...

Well, it was a sort of a temporary solution. Now we can get back to creating a permanent one...

Here comes the OpenID spam

I fail to see how it was a temporary solution when the OpenID.org sites states that it wasn't intended to address spam problems to begin with.

The fact that it may've aided in the deflecting spam (for a while) is a side effect.

Here comes the OpenID spam

I came across openID on Monday, today I've got a basic openid key provider and openid lock - and I was ever so pleased to be able to use my own generated key to open an account on a forum - and then .... oh my god ... I realised, that if I can generate a key, then any vladimere or putin, can generate a key which they can then use to unlock my openID lock and dump rotten spam on my website. So, unless I'm very much mistaken, I'm going to have to adopt a "closed_id", lock which only opens if the brand of the key is one that is on my approved list of known reputable locksmiths. PS. Nice comment form - and thanks to the guy(s) gal(s) that keep it going!
