Googlewhack trick used to slip junk mail past spam filters

Spammers feel lucky

Advanced features in Google's search engine are being used by spammers to disguise the URLs of spamvertised sites. Hackers have been using Google search functions to hunt for vulnerabilities. Now their peers in the junk mail business are getting into the act, Symantec reports.

Google supports a variety of advanced query words that are capable of
narrowing the scope of a search. Spammers have latched onto this
functionality as a means to direct an end user to a URL advertising their
products or services, without directly pointing at a site. The approach, as
with so many in the field of spamming, is designed to bypass junk mail
filters.
