"Fortinet gives examples of the sites, including one for a supposed fan of the Honda CR450 motor car, which attempts to infect visitors with the Wonka Trojan. In another, the fake blog redirects visitors to a store front purporting to be Pharmacy Express, a phishing site that has turned up in many spam emails distributed by the Stration worm."
And this is not nearly the whole ordeal. Some of the nasty splogs manage to download a 1x1 pixel to track sensitive user information.
Google says those blogs are not legit and that the company is investigating. Until we are sure Google has managed to make Blogger safe, reconsider staying away from the whole Blogger community, or visit only those blogs which you know are OK, as none of the legitimate blogs seem to be hijacked.
