What the hell is wrong with AT&T today, first they attack 4Chan and now the Gawker network.

I got two more this morning! Bizarre. I've heard it might be spambots regurgitating a legitimate tweet directed at me in between pleas to check out their hot XXX profile.

? Is this interesting? The only thing Matt has posted in the past month has to do with AT&T being horrible and a Foxcon employee killing himself, all poorly written with little to no actual valuable information.

Fake astroturf designed to bring publicity for Gizmodo? Somebody's bound to try it eventually.

This sort of thing has actually been making the rounds on Twitter. It hit the #dnd (Dungeons & Dragons) hashtag last week. What happens is that the pornspambabebots check hot trending topics, grab a random post on that topic and then retweet it on all their various accounts. What happened here was some AT&T shill posted the original message when AT&T was a trending topic, and the pornspambabebots took over from there.

I do have to admit that, although I feel for Matt and the annoyance that it causes him, it's pretty intriguing how these spambots are working now. Even automated accounts trying to keylog people on various forums (especially wow forums) have become all-the-more tricky. They used to be about satellites catching naked women and now they pertain to the game and lack the various typos once associated.
These spambots (and other various malicious automated software) are becoming tricky, I tell you!
