Hackers have found a creative new way to distribute spam by abusing the infrastructure of legitimate websites. Since the crooks don’t technically take over the website, and it continues to operate as intended, spam filters are having a hard time blocking these emails.

The good news is that the emails are blatant spam, and unless the recipients click on the links without even reading the contents of the email, they should be able to spot the fraud immediately.
