Their april 15th blog post explicitly calls it a backdoor and mentions it was very well hidden. I'm interested to see what comes of this

Whatever the last part of the link is it is getting caught in the content filter and being replaced with "removed".

Can anyone actually share the actual end of the link without triggering the content filter?

Might be your instance. Try blog and spot and .com without spaces. The blog is also linked within OPs article

Interesting, I wonder why the choice to remove blog spot dot com specifically, this is actually the first time I have ever seen a "removed" from this instance, which is why I assumed at first it must be remote (also I had just woken up). Now that I'm more awake I realize, you're right, it must be my instance. Maybe I'll ask my admin sometime if there's a reason why they block that phrase.
