Watch it at http://www.mhvt.net/quicktime/eng/affiliate_spam.html
A few hours ago, we explored the exploited webpage at University of Memphis Department of Civil Engineering website. One of the websites we reached is that of Imperial Valley College. Then exploring affiliate spam pages at Imperial Valley College led us to more exploited websites for affiliate spam.
We have found affiliate spam pages at the websites run by following colleges and universities: University of Akron, Rochester Institute of Technology, California State University Long Beach, Weber State University, Marywood University, Marywood University, Northland Pioneer College, South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, University of California Los Angels, Laramie County Community College.
MacHouse no longer notifies each victimized institution of their affiliate spam problem because
1. most academic institutions have ignored our kind notifications in the past
2. the number of exploited websites is so large that we have no time to contact all victims.
