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.

    superdrugsudden.com, spruceteam and many other sites that show that same Canadian Pharamcy are domians registered out of China… so maybe they are just credit card gathering sites.
