Yahoo Groups being abused by spammers


Great names are quite often the subject of abuses and this time, the Yahoo Groups are being used in spam messages. Spammers have created a large amount of account on the Yahoo Groups and are including URLs in their spam messages.

The messages comes with the subject line in the form of: ****@***.be VIAGRA ® Official Site -77%. The body of the email only contains an URL to for example hxxp://groups.yahoo.com/group/*****/message.

This is an example of such a web site.

The image that promotes Viagra also contains an URL that leads to, in our case, hxxp://superdrugsudden.com:8080/. And yes, it’s the Canadian Pharmacy again. We have to admit that they are very active on the internet.
