I'm beginning to think it's not a nefarious plot but for profit. With limited reading on the subject, it appears that they set up the computer to send millions of spam emails automatically. If they're able to get a tiny percentage of recipients to click the link they get a commission.
While that's email, I imagine it works the same on forums, blog comments, etc. I looked at several new "members" profiles and I see signatures that are links. I see a fair amount of spam in the comments section of news sources as well, so it's not just firearms forums.
After thinking about it, Tow getting hacked and banning himself at the armory doesn't fit the profit scenario, so it may be more than that.
