8a8d If you run a weblog, 8a8d one of many issues you 8a8d end up having to cope 8a8d with is remark spam.
8a8d
8a8d Generally will probably be folks 8a8d making an attempt to advertise 8a8d a service that can allow 8a8d you to cheat at writing 8a8d essays…
8a8d
8a8d
8a8d …or promote a web-based pharmacy…
8a8d
8a8d
8a8d …or good old style porn.

8a8d
8a8d You anticipate to have undesirable 8a8d feedback like this submitted to 8a8d your weblog, and a great 8a8d anti-spam plugin (I take advantage 8a8d of 8a8d Akismet 8a8d ) routinely filters them, which 8a8d means you don’t must waste 8a8d hours every day marking them 8a8d individually as spam.
8a8d
8a8d However some spam does generally 8a8d get by. Take this, 8a8d for example:
8a8d
8a8d
8a8d What’s uncommon about this piece 8a8d of remark spam, is that 8a8d it’s not shilling dodgy drugs, 8a8d an essay-writing service, or foot 8a8d fetish movies, however an 8a8d internet site from EC-Council, a 8a8d “legit” cybersecurity organisation.
8a8d
8a8d Sure, somebody has gone to 8a8d the trouble of discovering a 8a8d 8a8d weblog submit 8a8d the place I wrote 8a8d about how I used to 8a8d be talking at an occasion 8a8d in Helsinki, and used that 8a8d as an excuse to advertise 8a8d considered one of EC-Council’s personal 8a8d providers: the so-called EC-Council College.
8a8d
8a8d EC-Council College claims to be 8a8d “a premier establishment of upper 8a8d studying that focuses on cybersecurity 8a8d applied sciences, enabling its graduates 8a8d to acquire superior cyber skillsets.” 8a8d Don’t be fooled by 8a8d its slick advertising video (I 8a8d received’t hyperlink to it right 8a8d here, why ought to I 8a8d give them the site visitors?) 8a8d exhibiting off what’s introduced because 8a8d the college campus. EC-Council 8a8d College is solely on-line.
8a8d 8a8d 8a8d 8a8d
8a8d Safety information, recommendation, and ideas.
8a8d
8a8d EC-Council itself runs a Licensed 8a8d Moral Hacker programme, so you’d 8a8d anticipate it to behave ethically 8a8d – proper? It will 8a8d possibly’t 8a8d probably 8a8d have paid somebody to 8a8d spice up its search engine 8a8d optimization rankings by posting spam 8a8d on cybersecurity blogs… 8a8d can it 8a8d ?
8a8d
8a8d Sadly, EC-Council hasn’t coated itself 8a8d in glory previously with accusations 8a8d of 8a8d sexism 8a8d , 8a8d “shady practices” 8a8d , and 8a8d plagiarism 8a8d , in addition to quite 8a8d embarrassingly 8a8d spreading the Angler ransomware 8a8d and 8a8d having its web site defaced 8a8d with a picture of Edward 8a8d Snowden’s passport 8a8d .

8a8d
8a8d I can’t let you know 8a8d to not search moral hacking 8a8d certification from EC-Council. However 8a8d I can recommend that if 8a8d you’re on the lookout for 8a8d a web-based college to spice 8a8d up your cybersecurity profession, you 8a8d don’t accept an outfit that 8a8d has confirmed itself to be 8a8d of questionable ethics and totally 8a8d clueless.
8a8d
8a8d I advised EC-Council in regards 8a8d to the remark spam left 8a8d selling their web site yesterday. 8a8d It hasn’t responded.
8a8d
8a8d Perhaps I ought to wait 8a8d till a reply is submitted 8a8d through the feedback part under… 8a8d presumably with a hyperlink to 8a8d considered one of its web 8a8d sites.
