Google Blogspot redirection.
Alleged perpetrator = William Lin, see http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/anherbal.com
QUOTE

Visits to this fake pharmacy site is provided through the widespread abuse of Google Blogspot redirection. This is a sad indictment of Google's inability to tackle problems caused by their open framework for creating new blogspot entries. All you need is a Gmail account, and scammers are offering pre-registered Gmail accounts a million at a time. Direct quote from the bulkerforum.biz where scammers hang out:

This is a MAJOR incident. Escalate to Corporate Security.

Each of these 3 samples has a java script obfuscated redirector, and each decodes to
window.top.location.href='http://anherbal.com/';

Reference: http://www.spamtrackers.eu/wiki/index.php?title=Blogspot#Obfuscated_Java_Script_redirections


Suspend every site containing the matching redirection fingerprint:
var {TS}="{TS}";var {TS}=0;var {TS},{TS},{TS}="{HEX}";{TS}='';var {TS};for({TS}=0;{TS}<{TS}.length;{TS}+=2)

where {TS} is a variable length text string
and {HEX} is a long hexadecimal string comprised of 0-9 A-F

Remove all matching sites. Run continuously as new sites are registered. Check for changes in pattern and adapt.

To monitor for success, check new spammed sites reported at the Geocities URIBL tracker http://rss.uribl.com/hosters/
