[Thousand-oaks-pm] Badware?

[James Kiser]

I think you hit the nail on the head. Check out this user:

http://thousand-oaks-perl.org/bin/view/Main/FelixDze

It looks like a bot created a bunch of attachments that redirect to
another site.

There's also these users that were created and the comments section has
been spammed with urls.

What version of TWiki is the site running?  One of my coworkers recently
had a slightly older version of TWiki compromised and was serving up
phishing web sites unbeknownst to him.

Just a shot in the dark at why the site may have been flagged as
"badware."
