Nothing new....I dont think it's a "hack" or exploit...Windows users are most likely to be infected by malware/viruses, and one of the payloads of these greeting cards, halloween dancers, funny kittens, etc. greeting cards I believe, is to send messages to every address in the user(s) address book....well, what's more convenient than to have your blogspot e-mail address in your Windows addressbook? :) So, the malware essentially sends the spam link to their blogspot address, posting it to their blog...

I've been reporting these splogs as I find them to http://spamvertised.abusebutler.com/blogspot.php and also "flag" the blog using the header navbar on the blogspot blogs.

There's also a hidden splog report form somewhere on the blogger/blogspot/google domain...but I think Andy over at AbuseButler mass-submits the splog URLs :)
