As read on.
http://english.aljazeera.net/ – science and technology. This forum does not accept the direct url. I'm sorry....

I checked my yahoo mailbox. I did not receive it. Did anybody else encounter this nice little worm?

To Philipp:
I tried to post the real link, but I got an error:
"Ooops... please go back to remove the blocked word "6_b" if possible."

Since when 6_b is a word and is dangerous?

Remove _ in the text above, to obtain the "word" as I couldn't type a blocked "word".

6b is now removed from the forum blacklist. At one time or another "6b" was contained in a spam attack, I don't know specifically which one, the blacklist grows longer and longer everyday...

Maybe you should release the list under a CC license. Other people might find it helpful.

I'm sure spammers targetting this forum would definitely find it helpful... ;-)

Maybe it's best that whoever wants the list drops me an email...
