Spammers Ramp Up Siege on Bebo

07.01.08 SPAM 2.0 Update. Websense Security Labs® has been monitoring the recent spammer tactics that use Bebo services for spamming purposes. In the past, we blogged about similar spammer trends where Google services were increasingly used in spam runs. Google Blogger and Google Docs have been under attack, as has Gmail; and mass mailing campaigns are not confined to Gmail. Live mail, Hotmail, and Yahoo Mail have all been under siege as well. We detected this trend through the ThreatSeeker™ Network.
