I’ve been keeping an eye on some porn spammers. Some usually leave trackbacks with sites on dynamic dns servers. This one however used comments.

I followed the trail of one such site (from dyndns site to site it redirects to via javacript), and ended up on the same server as Eugene Blagodarny’s advanced-submitter. It’s exactly the kind of software used for spamming the blogs.

So, my question is, do all the sites on that server belong to Eugene Blagodarny, or just the two connected with his submitter software?

Oh yes, he’s got something to do with it. Might even be his. The e-mail address used for registering the porn domains use an e-mail address from a domain registered by Eugene.

Mark Bosner is often the name associated with the domains, when there’s someone associated with them at all.

But since the e-mail address given for those domain names resolves to Eugene’s own e-mail address (VRFY is disabled on most mail servers, but this one was sloppy…), I think we can bypass Mark Bosner easily:

Yep, unless Eugene is fronting for someone else, he’s a spammer himself.

I trust that wasn’t a big surprise?
