This is just brilliant..evil and just spam, but a brilliant one..from another level compared to mail spam or blog comment spam.

Seeing is believing sometimes :)

Stanford responded quickly and fixed it too. The other sites I contacted did not. :(

I received a few more of those trackbacks last week that affected other sites. I need to contact the webmasters of those sites as well.

I have to admit that I am tempted a bit to give kudos to the guy who came up with this scam, but I don’t want to encourage this and rather suggest to the guy to put this creative energy to some good use that will last much longer and will be appreciated.

I am surprised that nobody seems to care. Okay, it was a Sunday post and it might got overlooked. I don’t work based on the standard calendar. A Sunday is as good as a Monday to me, no difference :)

This is a classic example of Parasite Hosting :)
