  • Grapes Blogs

    Morning all.

    Just a quick heads up.

    In my 'reading list' on my blog [that' blogger blog, not the Vine blogs], in the last 2 days - I have seen lots and lots of 'bad pictures' - and what's happened is that Grapes who have blogs that don't keep them updated have been intercepted by spammers; and they then change the name of the blog, post very rude pictures and text, and publish new posts.

    So, these appear in the reading list [if you run a blog] and also if anyone clicks on a blog that you are recommending from your blog site - it will go to the spam.

    I have had to delete 3 Grapes' blogs today - so I just thought I'd let you all know.

    I'll be going through it later again to ensure that I'm not posting any linkies to any norty sites.

    Geez - these people! Nightmare.

    *ETA - the ones I've deleted are jenegademaster/kentvegplot/thisandthat...so if these are yours you might want to look into getting access again and deleting the posts.

    Also, we may have to find any references and delete any links from here.

    I suppose it's just another route to spam us. So we may have to check everyone's linkies on here.

          Sorry BM - it's not the Vine Blogs.

          It's blogs through Blogger...I'll just change the initial post.

                  Poor passwords generally, phishing or even a virus on the bloggers PC.
