Not sure you linked the topic you wanted.
I linked "an specific post (that briefly explained about the subject in those quote marks) within a topic".

Is there a topic thats lists suspicious link posted around here? As "suspicious links blacklist" seems to indicate?
No, there isn't any (AFAIK). Only an admin (e.g. theymos) has access to such list.

Thank you for contributing guys...

There's a number of c.2011 registered accounts about that have recently been reactivated for spamming.
Unfortunately, you're right. The good thing is the fact that, they're using "Newbie" accounts and this can easily be fixed with adding that website into "suspicious links blacklist (in case an admin reads this [the sooner the better])".

Another one just appeared :

I have a feeling this could last for a while.

I literally just noticed the behaviour of chessdragon & made a thread requesting a mod to nuke him/her.
He/she made 15 shill posts today but before that last activity was 2011.

Thanks to Halab, I just noticed this thread.
I posted about n2liquid earlier here :
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/serial-spammer-5054593

He keeps posting the same shit everywhere about his app :

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/n2liquid-25800

https://archive.fo/7A4aG

I reported his last 8 posts but I guess he's not done.

Can someone ban this guy ?

EDIT : the French moderator just posted that the link this guy posted was leading to a malware.

Users in question:

a) Recently they both started posting (after a lengthy hiatus) multiple threads across different boards (including local boards).
b) I scanned the link of the service (Mammon) that they were promoting but nothing came up on virustotal and other similar website.
c) Then I checked the included YouTube link (only some of the threads have it). I noticed there's a different link (original one) on the description of the video than the one given on these new threads.
d) So I searched for the original thread and found it: Mammon - Desktop Ticker Price Tracker
e) Then I went over the other given links (from the above two users) and surprisingly, they included "this Medium link (explains the cryptojacking part)".
  • That was the strange part since it pushed me to look deeper and I end up finding the following connection:
    • I looked for other virustotal's alternatives and found "ReScan.pro" (result).
    • The above screenshot (result), only shows half of the link but if you go to "RedirectDetective" and paste the link address from "mammon (Download Mac App v0.2.9 button)", it "shows" that it's the exact same link (redirects) from the original website (teamfox [Download Mac App v0.2.8 button]).
Conclusion:
- The above results shows the connection between "seniorhuman, Rockford99 and rcocchiararo" and if we take the above "Medium" link into consideration, then these three users have spread malware (cryptojacking) across different boards and need to be punished.

This thread serves as a reference for my report.
