Submission + - Retibution against Slashdot.org ?
Anachragnome writes: Yesterday I read an article here at Slashdot, ( http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/10/03/181 7231 ) about the use of social websites as a means to spread adware. I found it interesting, yet not particularly threatening to me, as I do not use such sites.
Today, as I was reading the news here at slashdot, an article about Gizmondo in particular, I found a posting by an anonymous poster that linked a webpage about wrecked exotic cars. Being one to actually go to links in posts, I was amazed to find that the site was awash in files that were actually Zango downloads.

Almost every link on the page is a download from Zango. After posting what I found (as a warning to readers), it began to dawn on me that this may not be a coincidence. Could it be possible the poster was intentionally posting such links on Slashdot in response to the previous days article? What motive might one possibly have in doing so?
Anyways, I find it highly suspect that such a link is posted here on slashdot, not just once, but twice, in the same thread ( http://games.slashdot.org/games/06/10/04/1732202.s html ).
