More “who Blocked You on Msn” Threats

In August I decided to write an article about the “phishing” threat of websites offering you the chance to see who blocked you on MSN (or other IM services).

It seems that the article had a good number of visits, but at the same time I saw that I kept receiving more and more spam of this kind. CLICK HERE FOR THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE.

Almost all of the emails were coming from people in my list. That is because these contacts had their computers infected with malware that was distributing these messages. Many of these sites have not found themselves in the “black lists” of anti virus software companies.

A new threat on the block is http://why-do-they-block.com/ (ATTENTION !!! DO NOT FOLLOW THIS LINK)

The domain name is registered to a Chinese name and address , and if you have been a victim of this site, here are the details they have registered (found through a public domain WHOIS service)
