Scoota G Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 He's only just started this morning probably just after Gav went to bed. I've been in touch with Lurch but only Gav can delete the account, so until then it's spam city. Quote
FuzzyDropbear Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 It has to be your alter ego then Mr. Spam-aster... I don't get how these are profitable.. I mean, who of us are actually going to click on one of the links, or buy something from someone who appears so shifty.... Quote

NZeder Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 spam bot doing all this work - a simple script - troll the interweb for a site that you know is running xyz forum software that you know you can hack. Find said site and kick of the post script that creates the account, then pulls a list of the forum topics. Then use this to randomly post your drugs you are pushing. Basically guys this is how they get paid. Every post the make might count for $0.001 then they put in a url in the post if someone clicks on it - the drug company knows who post it was from and they get paid for the redirect. Some spammer make more money than you and I ever will for all this crap. There are a few ways to combat this (does not completely eliminate it as the attackers/spammer are usually a few steps ahead, do to all the money they are making......). Upgrade/update the software. Use anti-spam/bot add-on to the forum software that stop people posting x post in y minutes (ie faster than we can type = good chance it is a bot), stop new members from posting new topics until they have posted in y thread ie a welcome/intro thread. To stop this stuff makes it harder for new people to post, but that is sometime the trade of - easy of use vs better security. Welcome to new internet age. Quote
