As some of you know, Netbilling was "hacked" a few months ago and the "hacker" only got access to email addresses and names.

Strange that the hacker didn't get any credit card numbers isn't it?

This "hacker" has been spamming email addresses used in transactions passed to Netbilling.

If you look at the sites the mailer is spamming, they are all .info and .biz domains hosted at 64.157.9.184

http://www.whois.sc/reverse-ip/64.157.9.184

Take a look at this IP and the domains hosted there.

There are 542 domains hosted on this IP. They are all .info and .biz domains.

Also, guess where this IP is located? Candidhosting.
http://www.whois.sc/reverse-ip/64.157.9.184

Candidhosting is hosting 542 .info and .biz domains that are constantly spammed and does nothing? Sounds strange?

It gets better.

Guess who controls the DNS for www.netbilling.com? Yep.

Candidhosting

www.netbilling.com
NS2.CANDIDHOSTING.COM 64.159.90.10
NS1.CANDIDHOSTING.COM 64.159.90.4

http://www.whois.sc/netbilling.com

So, a "hacker" hacks in to the Netbilling database and only takes names and email addresses but no credit card numbers, sets up a server right at Candidhosting and starts spamming away, while Netbilling and Candidhosting do nothing.

Sound about right?
You are suggesting something that is completely wrong. No credit card numbers were hacked whatsoever. Some emails and names were but that is all and it was fixed within minutes. I know nothing about where the spamming came from but will surely show this post to our network engineers and get back to this thread after they investigate. I assure you that we are completely honest and always have been since day.

Thanks for the heads up, Mitch
