iDisk is a service that Apple, Inc. offers to its .Mac members. .Mac members get 1 GB of storage space that can be used to store files including photos and movies.

Affiliate spammers often use free web services including AOL Hometown, Blogger, Yahoo!’s Geocities to create spam domains and redirect visitors to various websites in order to earn commissions.

So why iDisk? Apple offers a 60-day free trial period to those who sign up for the first time. Now, affiliate spammers abuse this free trial period and create spam domains to redirect visitors to online pharmacy stores and search directories.
