Cache spam

I think I’ve uncovered a new type of spam. I don’t know if it works as intended, but I found something that must have been done on purpose.

Remember the Dorank spammer? He was just tossed from his webhost, and found a new one. So I was nosing around a bit.

He has some sort of affiliation with cs.rin.ru, and I was doing some searches when I came upon something that might be an experiment, or a spamming attempt.

Check this Google search:
inurl:cs.rin.ru -site:cs.rin.ru

You’ll find lots of indexed instances of cacheing or mirroring. What I’d term vulnerable PHP scripts.

Most of the instances are only in the Google cache. They don’t work live right now. But I tested one site that allowed me to cache spamhuntress. Brrrr…

Either way, I think some checking of PHP and Google coding is in order.
