New forum spam techniques

Hi there,

there was a new kind of spam message on this forum. Its presence was causing the effect that 5 seconds after the forum was loaded in the current browser window, that same window was auto-loading the spammer's web site. No new window was opening. And the current window's back button was disabled.

I was having enough time to delete the message. (If not so, Jeroen would have been able to delete via FTP or so). Anyway, an interesting new experience ...

Can a java script or something be embedded in a forum message? Strange.

The IP is sympatico.ca. It seems dynamic, so I haven't yet added it to the banned IPs list.

Cheers,
|-|ardy
