ZoneEdit Down

ZoneEdit‘s name servers are offline as they have come under attack. Some people will be having trouble getting to my site along with other websites that use ZoneEdit for their DNS. Luckily I’ve defined another name server so hopefully once the records update my site will come back online for everyone.

Open Redirect at Ask.com

Spammers have found an open redirect in the ask.com website. These redirects are often used to mask their URL’s from RBL’s and services like Spamcop.

Redirect:
http://wzeu.ask.com/r?t=lyc&u=http://www.microsoft.com/

I have put Microsoft in as an example here anyone can put any URL in at he end to use this redirect. I have filed a support ticket with Ask about this.

A redirect that they were using at Go.com is still open a month later even after I sent them notice of it. (Lazy)

Classification Board Site Defaced

The ABC is reporting that the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) has been defaced. At present the site appears to be down displaying the message “Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)”, however the ABC has been kind enough to capture a screen shot with there article.

The defaced page reads:
This site contains information about the boards that have the right to CONTROL YOUR FREEDOMZ. The Classification Board has the right to not just classify content (the name is an ELABORATE TRICK), but also the right to DECIDE WHAT IS AND ISNT APPROPRIATE and BAN CONTENT FROM THE PUBLIC. We are part of an ELABORATE DECEPTION from CHINA to CONTROL AND SHEEPIFY the NATION, to PROTECT THE CHILDREN. All opposers must HATE CHILDREN. All opposers must HATE CHILDERN, and therefore must be KILLED WITH A LARGE MELONS during the PROSECUTION PARTIES IN SEPTEMBER. Come join our ALIEN SPACE PARTY.

The last paragraph sounds kind of odd and is very random. Funny thing is the person who has done this is completely off target when it comes to who they should be after.
