Javascript is a "Weapon Spammers"




Javascript is reportedly increasingly popular technology used by the perpetrators of the spread of spam. Javascript used to hide them.

That is one of the results delivered by Symantec Intelligence Report for the periodSeptember 2011.

Through Javascript, according to the report, spammers can hide their web pages or to trick the direction in which the victim will be misled.

The web page that has been hidden by Javascript is then distributed via email toprospective victims of spammers.

Paul Wood, Senior Intelligence Analyst of Symantec.cloud said this increases the lifetime of the site due to fool the spammers who hijacked the site administrator.

In addition, Symantec found the exploitation of loopholes in WordPress to hijack a web site that runs the content management system. WordPress site itself is said not affectedby these actions.
