How a Security Specialist Fell Victim to Attack

Darren W. Miller is the author of an article over on CircleID that reveals what evil lurks in the URLs one types. An excerpt:

These days, I write several pages for our site plus two to three articles per week. The first places these articles are posted are Defending The Net and CastleCops. Several days later, I post these articles on other submission sites. This is standard operating procedure in the world of article submissions.

For the most part, articles are re-published without you even knowing. You typically find out when someone visits your site from another where the article has been posted. Other times, the site that plans on posting the article e-mails you and asks you to review it before it goes live. Two weeks ago, I received one of these e-mails. It was all downhill from there.
