Why is Google Running Ads for Known Malware Sites?
Posted 11/14/2008 at 09:10:22am
You should spend some time in Blogspot. I've been tracking malware there for months and other more respected researchers evern longer.
I've submitted sites to them for removal and while they kill those blogs, they don't block the sites the blogs are re-directing users to. And they're always the same sites, time and time again. At any given moment there are literally hundreds of malware pushing sites on the Blogspot domain.
But if Google fixes it, there won't be any blogs on Blogspot. Betweeen the spam\blog farms(splogs) and malware pushing sites they wouldn't be able to make a dime.
The latest foray can be found here:

I've just checked and they're now pushing the latest rogue, Virus Trigger.
And Google knows how to block these re-directs too.
Google is all about the money and nothing else. Stay away from Blogspot.
