Blaster blog site
While tracking the blaster networks, I came across a specific player that turned out to be a bit more interesting than most.
Meet Rohit Kumar Seth aka Rohit Seth.
He’s a guestbook spammer, but before he started spamming guestbooks, he’s been the owner of a free scripts site. He’s been plugged into the ad blaster networks for some time too. But looking at a recent list of commissioned scripts will give you an idea of what he’s currently into. I’ll quote a few more interesting script descriptions:
Guest book autoposter (July 4)
wordpress blog auto submit script (June 30)
The guestbook spamming was done around July 8-11…, for this site: getfreeblogs.com
I found the spam while checking a blog that had a suspicious number of typical blaster comments.
What I eventually found, was a list of all the users. Note in the middle of the page, there are a lot of names with no info on them. And the names are listed almost alphabetically. Lots of variations of similar name. Those are, I believe, fake blogs, designed to blend in with the real users. The fake blogs are there to receive blaster ads… Right now most of them have ONE blog post (a welcome post entered by the system), and 191 comments.
So, although the site does have legitimate users, the INTENT of the whole site and service is to have lots of fake blogs with blaster comments. In other words, the whole site was conceived to hold search engine spam. And it was spammed from the get go.
Very interesting how the blaster people are more and more doing spam now to cut through the noise…
