Google Blogger "Hosts 2% of World's Malware"

Barence writes "Google's Blogger service is responsible for 2% of the world's malware hosted on the Web, according to a new report from security firm Sophos. The company claims hackers are setting up pages on the free blogging service to host malicious code, or simply posting links to infected websites in other bloggers' comments. 'Blogger accounts for around 2% of malware,' according to Sophos's senior technology consultant, Graham Cluley. 'It's head and shoulders above the rest [of the blogging services].'" Sophos believes that Blogger is favored because, being part of Google, it gets spidered early and often.

M$ Sucks.

The term "malware" is not specific enough. These are not computer problems, they are M$ Windows problems. Users of other OS have no part of this and should not be alarmed without reason.

I like your cute little bunny ASCI art but think you can improve it too. Let's give it better eyes, nice looking feet and put it in the sun shine instead of the rain.

No thanks - I'm pretty sure twitter is capable of ruining Slashdot all on his own.
