Depressingly, LJ itself is now beginning to attract spam. Several people on my Friends page recently found some of their world-readable entries had attracted spam comments of the form "hi I added you to my friends list hope that's ok" followed by a link "katies journal" which actually went to a porn site.

(Entertainingly, the link didn't work in some browsers, because the spammer put a double backslash after the "http:" rather than a double forward slash. I can only assume that IE is slash-direction-blind and didn't mind...)
