Spammy websites distributing adware as Java or other kinds of software updates are nothing new but researchers have recently noticed two sites pushing that malware to users through sites that leverage Google s App Engine. Both sites were started just over a week ago and make use of the appspot.com address, a domain Google runs to help its users develop and deploy applications, according to Jason Ding, a research scientist at Barracuda Labs. The sites, which are still online, route users through a series of redirects, through several private websites that were registered with GoDaddy in June and July.
