iTunes Ping’s Latest Problem: Spam
By
iTunes Ping is apparently full of spam, yet another hiccup in Apple’s road to establishing a legitimate social network.
As Sophos notes on its blog, a barrage of spam links are hitting the music-themed social network. Many of these links are to offers promising free iPad, iPhone or iPod touch devices.
