DailyTech layout subject to SPAMBOTS

[jonnyGURU]

I just got spam at an email address I've only ever used at Anandtech/DailyTech.

I figured if it was Anandtech, I would've started getting spam a long, long time ago, so I checked out Dailytech.

Every user's profile has their email address marked up in plain text so spam bots can snap them up and add to their spam lists. Not cool.

I'm surprised with all of the javascript used on that page that the emails aren't displayed with a document.write, but whatever it takes to fix it.. it needs to be fixed.

might be why my gmail address is getting a LOT more now.

yep, started happening to my gmail account over the last few weeks as well.

damn it.

Anand displays his own email address here in plain text in the source, so they either don't care too much or just can't be bothered. It's pretty simple to encrypt it using javascript... go figure.

I have a specific e-mail that lets me know that it's from this forum and lately I've been getting a lot of penny stock opportunities along with rich Spouses who need me to claim their money from the government and some other off the wall stuffs :disgust: :roll: :laugh:
