Spammers spoofing weblogging URLs
Six Apart has posted the following warning for uses of its TypePad weblogging software: "When logging in to TypePad, be sure to only log in through http://www.typepad.com/ or http://www.blogs.com/. There are a number of sites spoofing the TypePad homepage to facilitate masking their identities for comment spam. We are working to get these sites shut down." More and more, spammers and virus-writers are using social engineering, as some of the traditional technical holes in the Internet get sealed up.
