Spammer methinks?

Yup - some kind of automated spam... taking half sentances from other posts, and combining them to make three nonsensical posts in 20minutes. The (rhetorical) question in my mind is... why!?

Rhetorical question I know but the "why" can be easily answered. The inital post probably had a bunch of nasty stuff (java script code) imbedded in it that would automatically run when viewed if the crew.org message board wasn't smart enought to filter it out. As a viewer you can't see the code but it runs in your browser (assuming javascript is enabled) and it can compromise your PC. It's script kiddy stuff but is still quite effective especially given the Java vulnerabilities that have just been recently publicised. Metservice got hit by it almost a year ago.

 

Mothership will be well on top of this so there is no worries on this site.
