What's really sad is that this has been going on for a LONG time.. videoscash has been known to be doing this for a LONG time...

I posted over a year ago on the zoo, that gallery/free site submitters are also involved with this and that it's tied into some well known scammers/spammers. Barely anyone read the thread...

I can check (or use my scripts to do the check) pretty much ANY site and find galleries/free site that are being used to do this.

No one is doing anything to truly solve the issue. I suspect it's because no one really knows "what" to do about it.

And this has nothing to do with zango.. This is a bunch of criminals using our traffic, our submissions, to set up their zombie networks of PCs and also the more insidious ones that take over the users PCs and change DNS entries etc. etc. etc. We're culpable in the proliferation of all that spam we all get. Zango is freakin tame compared to this stuff.
