Google Docs Spam?!

Heh. I just got a piece of comment spam. No big deal, other than the hyperlinks included within seem benign on the surface:
- http://docs.google.com/View?docid=df2wwh2p_0fzhnr7
- http://docs.google.com/View?docid=df2wwh2p_29mb42b
- http://docs.google.com/View?docid=df2wwh2p_3fpcbcz
- http://docs.google.com/View?docid=df2wwh2p_4cfmjkx
Go ahead, try one of ‘em. For the moment, you’ll be sent to a sparse page that shows nothing but a centered text advertisement. They’re legit Google Docs - but would this be considered a Google Documents exploit? It’s bad enough I’ve gotta run spam filters on my email - do I have to start watching out for spam documents and spreadsheets, too?

How are they able to access your documents? Are you making the pubic or something?

I tried your Google Docs URL’s but were not accessible. If these docs are yours, can you make them public to see the result of what you are talking about? Keep us updated.
