Breaking Down Blog Spam Malware

Jesper Johansson, co-author of Windows Vista Security: Securing Vista Against Malicious Attacks, recently wrote an article in The Register which dissects a new type of threat. Anyone with a blog has probably seen blog spam- comments made on blog posts which have little or nothing to do with the actual blog post, but contain links to spam-related web sites. I have spam filters in place, so I rarely even see the blog spam posts. They are an annoyance, and I simply delete them in periodic batches. However, Jesper did stop to look at the spam and noticed that a new breed was becoming prevalent. The new breed, rather than just leading to some annoying spam site, are actually malware attacks. For a complete breakdown of the threat, and Jesper's dissection and analysis, check out Anatomy of a Malware Scam.

imageThe past year has seen a surprising amount of activity in the area of blog commenting systems, as companies like Disqus and Intense Debate have looked to improve upon the standard old system of leaving comments… Now comes word that Automattic, the company that commercializes the Wordpress platform, has acquired Intense Debate for an unspecified sum. In a blog post, Intense Debate CTO Jon Fox explains that the platform will still work just fine on other blog systems (Movable Type, Tumblr, etc.) but that there will now be tighter integration between it and some of Automattic’s other owned systems, like anti-spam tool Akismet and Gravatar (avatars for blog comments).

Giga Omni Media Makes Second Blog Buy: The Apple Blog

Om Malik’s blog network Giga Omni Media has made its second acquisition… it has acquired The Apple Blog, which exclusively covers one of the blogosphere’s favorite companies. The deal comes not long after the acquisition of mobile-focused site jkOnTheRun. Terms of the deal, which should probably be described as an acq-hire, were not disclosed. The site is edited by Josh Pigford, who started it back in 2004.

OMG: Another career blog

Before I decided to write this blog I asked myself do we really need another career blog. Of course, I answered that question in the affirmative. There are actually several career blogs that I like and many others that seem to simply recycle shopworn -- or even worse, offer down right bad -- advice.
