I’ve noticed something recently that I’m suddenly seeing more and more. When I visit a blog that has been abandoned by its original owner and whose address has been “captured” by spam businesses, I’m met with a screen that consists a blow-up of one of the word verification graphics. It’s pictured to the right.
It makes me wonder whether those little automated spambots that leave those comments filled with links to porn sites and viagra sites may have figured out a way to capture those twisted-word graphics, create a way to specifically identify one from the others, then ask for your unwitting help by giving them the answer to the “riddle.”
I’m not about to answer their little question. Would you?
It’s like some sort of strange alien invasion, isn’t it?
