Spammers Create Their Own URL Shorteners To Pump Out Junk Links

Don’t click on suspicious links from unknown sources. We know you know, but the rise of link shortening services like bit.ly make it next to impossible to know where you’re being directed half the time, especially on Twitter. Unfortunately, spammers have caught on to the fact (C’mon, it was only a matter of time). Legitimate link shorteners have been doing a good job of eliminating malicious links, but a new report says that a gang of spammers have set up 87 URL shortening sites and are using them to flood inboxes around the world with junk.

Some interesting read I came across to share. Any comments?
