Stupid Blog Spammer: ‘Anti__Hacker’
This particular idiot, calling himself “Anti__Hacker” posted some comment spam on one of my blogs.
Here’s what was posted:
| Hello! Attention! Forum http://www.name-of-my-blog.com is infected by new virus. Please download antivirus on Anti-Hackers Programm Site . You have 1 day to do this. Be carefully. |
As you can see, spelling is not this moron’s specialty and he turned his automated spam program loose with spelling and grammar errors. The spammer may simply be someone whose native language is not English.
I have removed the actual link to his “Anti-Hackers Programm Site” to avoid aiding its promotion and to keep people here from visiting that site.
With regard to the purpose of his site, I suspect two scenarios:
First, he’s attempting to promote an actual anti-virus program that he is affiliated with and will earn a commission from.
Secondly, it may simply be a ruse to lure people to a site that will attempt to infect a visitor’s computer with a virus or some other kind of nasty program that could be used to take control of the visitor’s computer without their knowledge for the purposes of sending spam or attacking other computers.
There are other possibilities as well, such as spy-type programs that record keystrokes on a victims computer and send them back to the low-life who planted the program with the hope that they will be able to glean usernames and passwords to bank accounts and things like that.
Anyway, being as familiar with e-mail and blog spam as I am, I got a chuckle out of the simple stupidity of the spammer’s message. He really should learn English better or hire someone to write his spam messages if he wants to appear the least bit legitimate. What a moron.
