[thelist] google search for a legitimate subject returns weird result

[Nan Harbison]

Thanks Hassan. If you found lots of compromised sites, then maybe everyone
should be looking to see if this is happening on their own blogs!  I will
suggest to my client that I add the email new posts module to his blog.

For anyone who didn't go to the blog search results, and you have a blog or
clients with blogs, I just created a screen shot of the search results:

This is really bad!

Just looked at the page in question, and no, I don't see it either.

However, I took the top line of spam from the query result and googled
that, and found a lot of other compromised sites. Both Wordpress and
vBulletin seem well-represented. :-)

Since I don't use either I can only suggest asking a Wordpress-specific
mailing list or group.

HTH!
