Google's Blog Software Hijacked by Scammers

According to Fortinet, a security vendor, Google's blogger.com is being hijacked to spread malware through fake blogs. Genuine-looking blogs on topics as wide-ranging as "Star Wars, school, furniture, Christmas, cars and girlfriends" are now being created to host a variety of script-initiated malware. It would be impossible for visitors to spot the danger of these sites, which now number in the hundreds, the company said. Although they look genuine, it appears that all the sites have been specially crafted to fool visitors.
