When phishers attack blog sites
Today Google, which owns Blogger.com, said in a statement to CNET that the example sites cited by Fortinet appear to be "deliberately set up to promote phishing, which is against our terms of service."
Indeed, in reviewing the example we visited yesterday, there are numerous red flags. First, the content of the blog is gibberish. Although the page is in English, the visitor counter is in Russian. None of these alone are damning, but casual or even accidental visitors to the blog page could find themselves infected with a remote access Trojan horse. Google said that it is investigating these pages and concluded that "blogs found to include malicious code or promote phishing will be deleted."
