your host seems to be nothing else than the "El Dorado" and "Paradise" for all kind of criminals.
I would suggest that NO adult site should be doing business anymore with sites anywa related to estdomains, eshost, intercage and any other company somehow using any of these services.
If we cap the traffic exchange with sites hosting with hosts that obviously tolerate and support criminals, than a lot of our problems should be fixed automaticly as we are not longer part of the malware distribution or at very least it will decrease a lot.Biggest NOskim Network open for Trades/Linkexchanges

At this point, I think you can safely say: If the traffic comes from a domain registered with ESTDOMAINS, it is fairly suspect.Comment

It would I have to agree however it would also be nice to know that sponsors do not promote such behavior
I wage to bet that if we look closer we will find out which sponsors do and dont support this for I have a feeling that behind this organized group lies Quite of few others....

To Emil,
Thanks for taking the time to reply to this thread... I am glad I got the right name when I made the report to the FBI... you ARE Emil Kacpersky correct? I sent an email to [email protected] but I see the site is still live... as far as I know it's a crime to facilitate an international crime... you do know that disseminating viruses/trojans is a crime right?
Here is why we have a serious issue with Intercage... first of all... you host spammers, ppc cheaters, hackers, etc... wtf are you thinking? Btw... here is the email I sent you...
btw... I find it odd that you would even post here... lol

In case you were interested... I downloaded a pdf of the report to the FBI... I am not going to make it public because it has my personal info in it but here is the report part...
I am reporting a suspected international crime ring that is installing trojans on millions of pcs... The trojan
was initially identified by a Security Analyst at the University of Minnesota
http://lists.sans.org/pipermail/unis...er/026937.html
I have identified an install point... Here is the url to the alexa stats for this site.
http://alexa.com/data/details/traffi...m%2Fgoanal.php
I operate many softcore adult websites for a company based in Denmark in addition to being employed full
time as a programmer for an internet based adult service provider.
Recently it came to my attention that there was a rash of trojans being installed for the purpose of stealing
affiliate sales and spoofing websites by altering the victim pc to use the criminals dns servers. This is a
huge security risk for the victim and given the amount of traffic that the single install point that I identified
receives, I view it as a potentially serious national security issue as I believe the person behind this to be
Emil Kacpersky who I think owns Estdomains.com, InHosters.com and Intercage.com among other
companies. (I may be mistaken as I am no investigator). I have learned that these companies are believed
to be based in the Ukraine.
I don't really have any more information then that but this concerns me because I understand the amount
of money that these criminals are making from this endeavor is staggering and that millions of pcs may be
infected.Are there witnesses or other victims to this crime?

I hear microsoft is onto this codec exploit issue now!Comment
-
I wonder why Emil never posted again :DComment

I am sure there are honest people using ESTDOMAINS, but I think that having ESTDOMAINS as a registrar is one of those little flags that says "check this closely". This is especially important because these people register the domains, provide the hosting, and provide the connectivity to those hosts, with the clear intention of absorbing any negative comments, complaints, LARTs, or other notifications and not taking action. Basically, they control all three of the places that would get a DMCA notice. It's a nice touch.
It isn't a 100% sure thing that someone with ESTDOMAINS is going to be a scammer, but if you live next to a crack house, some people might think you like drugs, right?Comment

Microsoft Windows WMF exploits advisory
An update from Microsoft that fixes this vulnerabilty is now available:
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...00601_WMF.mspx
A very serious vulnerability has been discovered in Microsoft Windows, for which exploits are found on the internet. It concerns issues with files that are interpreted by windows as .WMF files.
At this moment there is no patch from Microsoft. There are some workarounds for vulnerable systems that can be applied. More information on this issue can be found here:
urls:
http://www.security.nl/article/12594...F_exploit.html
http://secunia.com/advisories/18255/
http://isc.sans.org/diary.php
http://www.viruslist.com/en/alerts?alertid=176701669
Malicious files that can lead to an exploit can be both in e-mail attachments and on the internet on http servers.
The TUNIX/Firewall can help to avoid some risk in the following ways:
Firstly the Kaspersky virusscanner for email on TUNIX firewalls detects trojans that use this exploit, if the firewall uses a recent signature-database. It has been doing so since December 28th 2005.
Secondly a number of URLs have been identified that may contain malicious content. TUNIX recommends blacklisting the listed URLs on the TUNIX/Firewall. This can be accomplished using a simple URL blacklist.
At this moment the following URLs can be blocked:
m.cpa4.org
008k.com
mscracks.com
keygen.us
dailyfreepics.us
pornsites-reviews.com
mmxo.megaman-network.com
600pics.com
Crackz.ws
unionseek.com
www.tfcco.com
Iframeurl.biz
beehappyy.biz
Buytoolbar.biz
teens7.com
Thirdly two netblocks can be blocked as well according to sources at SANS:
http://isc.sans.org/diary.php
InterCage Inc.: 69.50.160.0/19 (69.50.160.0 - 69.50.191.255)
Inhoster: 85.255.112.0/20 (85.255.112.0 - 85.255.127.255)
This can also be implemented by http blocklists. It should be noted that blocking entire netblocks always carries the risk of blocking websites that should not be blocked.
Customers with a Managed Firewall (MF) contract, customers with a Remote Standby (RS) contract or customers with a Remote Maintenance (RB) contract can contact TUNIX Firewall Support to make the necessary adjustments to the configuration of TUNIX/txhttp or Tunix/http-gw to block this activity.Last edited by Lanceman; 03-13-2007, 09:12 PM.Comment

Im sure you have good intentions my only question is what will you do with all the sales that infected surfers computers have sent you and how will you delegate the rightful affiliate?
When this happens on a daily basis I beleive that this is where the problem starts for any sponsor!
When the thousands of redirected dollars start flowing in come on back and tell us who gets paid!
Better yet why dont you just send us a post card from the Islands

Just for clarification... the trojan we are posting about isn't always delivered via an exploit... We have found multiple urls that are masking the trojan as a codec that users are voluntarily installing.Comment
-
Hey please do me a favor go read this new thread of mine and tell me if you think Im infected or not!
It will explain My story.
I would give out the URL but I took it off line till I get this problem fixed!

There are two types of codec-style exploits:
The one that microsoft mentions, which uses either a malformed wmv file or similar, which is a true security exploit, and the "you need a codec" sites that are using pure social engineering to get installed.
The social engineering approach is the hardest one to stop, because human nature is "install stuff to see video". It is the same reason why people foolishly install things like Zango. They think they are going to see a video or play a game. They don't realize that they will be installing a spyware piece of shit that is going to pop shit all over their screens when they surf. If they knew that, they would never do it.
The only reasons any of this stuff works is because programs are willing to pay money for the traffic generated from it. Pure economics says that if nobody was paying, nobody would do it.
Then again, Zango forced Lars to do it. I wonder how many other people have been forced?Comment

Exactly like I said before the only way to narrow this down to a dull roar is to get sponsors to spyware proof their content and non of them are standing up to say "Hey ya thats a good Idea"!
Why would they?

I think some of the bigger programs care, but not enough to terminate the accounts due to the possible retribution (who wants those bastards to suddenly send traffic going to my domain, somewhere else?)

We closed 2 affiliate accounts, that were doing this shit, we monitor our reffering urls pretty close, and caught them pretty fast.
right now we are waiting on ccbill, to send us the money that was held from those affiliates, so we could pay directly to those who were hit by this.
I think ccbill should provide all the info they have on ppl like this so we could act on our own aswell. (of course once they confirmed the issue)YepComment

Any program owner with even the least amount of sense would not consider that arguement. If they're capable of redirecting traffic at the join page they're more likely to redirect to a different program with a higher payout - without any provocation - than they are to redirect out of retribution.
Many join pages are very generic looking, the end user probably wouldn't notice he had been redirected to a different site until the last moment.

glad to hear paysites like yours are being proactive about this. I agree with you re: ccbill sharing information, in their defense they may be concerned about liability for slander though (which isn't to say that such information can't be quietly leaked to program owners).Comment

the affiliate link on that gallery is http://collegepartytime.com/ref/1004000/ so maybe the blockboostercash guys can identify him.

I haven't reported these yet to the proper sponsors, just too damn late at night for me to screw with atm :P so if anybody feels like messaging the sponsors before I do tomorrow go right ahead...Comment
