The trojan guys also submits trojan galleries to your TGP

One of the domains I end up at is party-adult.com which is a fake TGP installing the codec trojan...

MovieCommander DNS hijacking malware rootkit

The McAfee/Avert Labs blog, talks about MovieCommander,
a bit of DNS hijacking malware with rootkit functionality. See:
"MovieCommander! No, it's DNS Changer"

That blog entry in turn refers to:

If you go to the characteristics tab on the DNSChanger.f page, it mentions:

"Upon installation this trojan changes the DNS server address to
point to its preffered DNS.

"For example the recent variants are observed to point it to
85.255.115.46. A quick "whois" on this IP show this is in Ukraine."

Of course, if you actually check that dotted quad, it is being advertised by AS27595 - Intercage. If you do a traceroute:


10 sfc-b1-00-ve24-ctr-atrivo.wvfiber.net (63.223.30.130) 111.749 ms 111.662 ms 111.662 ms

Also note that the "Method of Infection" page refers to www.codecaddon.com and that site is at 64.28.181.243 a Cernel dotted quad also advertised by AS27595

I'm not getting anything nasty nor redirected. I'm using Firefox on Linux though - maybe they only play games w/ IE.

Estdomains, Inhosters, Atrivo, Intercage, who would have thought.

Blacklist the entire IP range of these hosts (do a google/board search) and check every domain that want's to do business with you to make sure it's not registered at Estdomains, then you've covered 99% of these cheaters (for now).

yup this DNS changer has been around for awhile, mad PPC fraud going on with this thing. who has a contact over at pichunter?

I have contacted him about this earlier today

once again for tgp people
