- Natsu 16y agoI'm just glad to know it's getting some attention. They attacked a small game wiki I use and I started to get alarmed once I realized the scale of their operation. I don't know if you got it, but I wrote down a bunch of URLs for spammed-up wikis and some information on one of the Google feedback forms a few days back. I realize that that kind of thing can be lost in the noise, though. EDIT: Here's one search that will show you a (now deleted) wiki that was spam-filled. You can follow the links on the spam pages to other vandalized wikis. http://google.com/search?q=site%3Apreventioncommunities.com+jobs http://google.com/search?q=site%3Apreventioncommunities.com+...
- Natsu 16y agoI finished a more complete writeup and sent it to you. There's probably nothing you couldn't figure out from that spam-filled search alone, but maybe it'll save you guys some time.
- chalst 16y agoCould you post a link here, please?
- Natsu 16y agoIt was on twitter, but here you go: https://sites.google.com/site/mvenzke/Home/spambot-analysis https://sites.google.com/site/mvenzke/Home/spambot-analysis
- chalst 16y agoThanks.
- Natsu 16y agoI've found a circumstantial connection to the Rustock spam botnet. That's still far from certain, but the botnet already uses wiki-like code in its control network, so there are good reasons to think it might be related.
