Windows Live Messenger: Beware of Unsolicited Messages Sent From Your Friends’ Live Account

Recently (Starting from the beginning of the year), I received quite a lot of messages with links from my friends' Live account on Windows Live Messenger. The messages were sent by my friends' intention and some of the messages were sent as offline messages.

As discover by a few other bloggers (LiewCf and CyberHQ), the links in the messages will redirect you to a MSN phishing site and ask you to key your Live account's username and password. The phishing site tries to trick you by showing you "your images" that have been uploaded to Live website if you login into your Live account.

I Hate Spam Blogs

Recently I received ping back from a blog that I think it is a spam blog. Each time I publish a new post, the site copies my content and republish it on it own blog and send a ping back to my blog. I think it is a blog that uses WordPress and with some kind of autopilot plugin. I hate that. It stole my original content and republish on it's own website. Sigh what can I do?

There are a few but this is the most frequent one hxxp://www.realrumors.net. I think the website has copied more than 6000 orignal posts from other websites. Hmm.

Do you guys encounter any spam blogs?
