Spam on Vanderbilt.edu domain

I just noticed this piece of spam on the Vanderbilt subdomain, boinc.vanderbilt.edu. (Why am I surprised to find a Viagra ad on a domain name called “boinc”? Boinc btw is the name of an “open-source software for volunteer computing and grid computing.”)

The way I found this page was through a spammy comment on my company blog. What I also found out was that I could create my very own page on the Vanderbilt.edu domain. This appears to be common practice for viagra spammers. Below you can see both the spam page, and my very own page that I was easily able to create.
