An affiliate spam (pharmacy spam, replica spam, insurance spam, finance spam…) group has exploited several websites. The exploited websites include academic institutions such as California State University Chico Campus (www.csuchico.edu) and Universidad de Guadlajara Centro Universitario de la Costa Sur in Mexico (www.cucsur.udg.mx). A series of affiliate spam exploitations has hit the California State campus especially hard. At its Progressive Student Union website (www.csuchico.edu/psu/), hundreds of spam pages have been discovered.

The websites that finance this affiliate spam group include CASINOSE FINANCIAL (http://casinose.org) and COSAMOZA.COM (www.cosamoza.com). Furthermore, the affiliate spam group has used multiple domain masking services to manipulate URLs.
