As I was browing through my feeds this morning I came across the following feed (original post here) that has had spam injected into it. The spam shows up in the original post source code but is not displayed in because of the use of the “style=display:hidden” tag, a common tactic by hackers. I would have contacted “RDC Blogger” but they have no contact form. I shot one of the featured bloggers a short email from the email I found on their home blog.
