Got a spam mentioning photo.com and some chat site. The chat site may be spammy but does anyone know anything about photo.com?
Update -- the graphic referenced in the spam run, and the directory it was in, are gone from the server/404 compliant. I think this was a compromised server, but it looks like someone got in touch with the owners and they took care of it quickly. (Now, if they'd just update their buggy Apache 1.3x software to the latest Apache 2.x, that would be perfect.) :)
Thanks for the research Catherine. I'm going to whitelist photo.com. We can always unwhitelist in the unlikely event that spammers take over or compromise this domain in future.
High value domain names like this generally tend to be pretty well taken care of, AFIACT.
