Spammers Using Google To Evade Filters

"They'll send out a big long spam run, and include the URL they registered with Google Page or a blog service," Dan Hubbard, vice president of security research at Websense, told Computerworld. "But there's nothing on that page but a bunch of obfuscated JavaScript."That script redirects to the actual spam site.
"Sometimes we'll see a run where they 'taste' the real URL, and then they'll do a much larger spam run with the Google Page URLs," said Hubbard. "It appears that they believe they get a more effective hit rate with the Google URLs."Websense first noticed this trend in November and has been intercepting tens of thousands of emails each day.
