Spam

So I just took a stroll through some other blogs. Some pretty interesting ones out there that perhaps I will link to later today when I get home from work. But I noticed that already the advertisers are using blogs to get that spam out.

I could not believe how many ads were out there for this service or that. I even found a porn blog, I am surprised ISO (Information Security Office) from down the hall didn't come to my desk. Well I guess my stroll through the neighborhood is over until I get back home. I guess nothing is safe now from the spammers and porn sites...

One other thing to add to this. I have noticed that some blogs I visited tried to install spyware/adware. This failed due to the fact that I don't run windows of any sort. So be aware if you decide to take a stroll through the neighborhood like I did...some of these blogs apparently aren't safe.
