Hong Kong puts the clamps down
The Hong Kong area's primary registrar, HKDNR, has joined forces with the Hong Kong Police Department in a major crackdown on spam sites. Up until last month, there were thousands of .hk sites being registered by the major spam gangs, and they were one of the most common locations for the likes of the illegal Canadian Pharmacy operation.

It looked like there was nothing anyone could do about it. Many an Internet user, sick of the deluge of spam from the likes of Polyakov, Kuvayev and Chan and their affiliates, had been lodging complaints with HKDNR to no avail. Then some new legislation was quietly enacted in Hong Kong, Within the space of two weeks, everything changed. Complaints were answered, and complainants were told that the problems they raised were being addressed.

Now I can safely report that hundreds of .hk spam sites are being removed every day. Look them up and you find they are all missing their "A" record - meaning that they are dead, dead, dead.

HKDNR and the Hong Kong Police Department are to be congratulated for their prompt actions, and their continuing campaign to rid Hong Kong of the vermin that were infesting it.

Now, let's see if their cousins in the Beijing area can learn something from this, and restore the PRC's reputation, which is currently at an all time low. Beijing will not be respected until it shows that it, too, is no safe haven for cyber-criminals.

1,000 IsRaz infected machines
This week I started getting some short spams - one liners, with a URL to visit. It turns out each URL is a web site with a payload - a massmailing worm infection. Just clicking on the link out of curiosity is enough to start an immediate download of the infection to most machines.

So I did a bit of digging, with the assistance of a team of associates. Here is what we found.

The worm is known under various names, such as W32/Israz worm, Israz, WORM_ISRAZ.A, 32/Akosw.A@mm.

The spam messages contain as little as

Just for you
http://example.com


where example.com is the corrupt site name.

I will not list actual site names here, for obvious reasons. My next step was to pull the headers from these worm distribution web sites, to see what sort of "server" was running. I discovered that they were running a minimum server, via an infection, called nginx/0.5.17 ("engine x"). It is a high- performance HTTP server and reverse proxy, as well as an IMAP/POP3/SMTP proxy server. In short, it can run as a hidden web server, and as an emailer for spam. Nginx (Engine-X) was written by Igor Sysoev for Rambler.ru, Russia's second-most visited website.

Next I looked at the IP addresses where these spammed web sites had been running over the past week. To my horror, I detected over 1,000 such addresses. I know that that is only a fraction of the actual spread.

There is more information out there. I list the compromised machine IPs here. Is your address among them?

Network Solutions takes action
The criminal gang that sought to exploit a major registrar has been given its marching orders. Domains that were registered for use as domain name servers, the gateway to illegal fake pharmacy and fake watch sites, are now out of action.
  • ns1.dnspotato.com, ns2.dnspotato.com (200 sites)
  • ns1.chickdnsone.com, ns2.chickdnsone.com (115 sites)
  • ns1.dnsjig.com, ns2.dnsjig.com (145 sites)
  • ns1.twodogdns.com, ns2.twodogdns.com (88 sites)
  • ns1.ultidns.com, ns2.ultidns.com (45 sites)
  • ns1.abbcdns.com, ns2.abbcdns.com (50 sites)
  • ns1.chocodns.com, ns2.chocodns.com (18 sites)
Network Solutions are not likely to be on the spammers' Christmas card list, but I don't think they will be losing any sleep over that.

Network Solutions - last in line
There have been a succession of US registrars who have had to learn the lesson about doing business with criminals. The latest in the long line is Network Solutions. A long established registrar, you would think that they would know the ropes by now. Like how to shut down a name server domain successfully. Many people have complained to Network Solutions about the domains they registered for arch-criminal Alex Polyakov. These complainants have swapped notes about their experiences. Network Solutions have consistently taken the complaint on board, and avowed that they have removed the domains. But to date, they are still resolving.

IP ADDRESSDOMAIN NAME SERVER
123.176.83.34ns1.dnspotato.com
123.176.83.20ns2.dnspotato.com
58.83.12.58ns1.dnsjig.com
123.176.83.34ns2.dnsjig.com

Time to come clean, Network Solutions, and show whether you consort with criminals, or not.

Moniker, it is spotlight time
You can act like a mushroom, and grow in the dark. But it becomes inconvenient when suddenly there is a glare of publicity. Today, it is Moniker.com 's turn. Moniker is a company whose founder and CEO is Monte Cahn. The company is now a subsidiary of Seevast Corp , but Monte still acts as CEO. Moniker is a company which has received huge numbers of requests to stop their support for the Internet's worst criminal, Alex Polyakov. But there is just no reaction. The support troops at Moniker are like festering fungi, staying in the dark and doing nothing. So how big is the problem? Here is a list of key name servers that are registered as domains on their service. It is a few minutes' work to remove each one of them. It is time to stand up, get out of the dark, and be seen to be an honest and reputable company, Moniker. Clause 28 of your Registration Agreement empowers you to act.

Set these name servers to a black hole address, and change status to Client Hold, and also prohibit Update, Delete and Transfer.

ns1.cluvditch.com ns1.detebed.com ns1.fatbast.com ns1.jotokio.info ns1.nohoevents.com ns1.ourboycot.com ns1.practicekiss.net ns1.rapidfer.com ns1.theblackrains.net ns1.uiltonthe.net ns2.asmotell.net ns2.barasincle.com ns2.carpethop.com ns2.fizactis.net ns2.gertuzen.net ns2.goodbenefactor.net ns2.groupron.com ns2.magicaxis.com ns2.proveregg.com ns2.terkclass.com ns2.tetscope.com ns2.vjflash.com

There is the list, show us what you are made of!
