    Rogue bloggers and vendors 'PWND'

    hpHosts Blog: Rogue bloggers and vendors caught with their pants down
    Rogue bloggers and vendors caught with their pants down
    I've just noticed this latest episode, publicized by S!Ri. We all knew it was happening, but now thanks to S!Ri, we have the proof we needed. Makes me glad I stuck to my guns about keeping the likes of Loaris, included in hpHosts (as if we didn't already have enough evidence against them - now they've provided us with even more!).
    Full story:

    Feel free to point and laugh, at the rogue bloggers and vendors involved;

    I told him the truth, I couldn't resist

    Some blog webmasters are regularly using the screenshots I made on their blog post. They just take the pictures, wrote a text about the rogue dangerousness and link to a "Free Scan", "Free Removal" tool (which is NOT free). Without analyzing the rogue itself.
    I've seen a lot of them.
