Hi bitfolkers,
I was emailed today by a phish bot (copy withheld by yahoo spamguard) which seeks bank
information. The scam appears to redirect victims to a location in Stanford (see
www.81solutions.com/server-location.html) whose host is located in Austria: 171.66.18.10
resolved by scotiaonline.scotiabank.compan.for-some.biz
I suspect this is a VPS, in an organisation similar to bitfolk, with a virus.
Which leads me to ask some questions of this list:
1) Do I have a duty in law to maintain a phishbot-virus-free VPS?
2) Can a mandamus order shut down an innocent VPS owner whose server hosts a phishbot
virus?
3) Has a bitfolk VPS owner ever been targetted by phishbots? If so, what were the
symptoms and what were the ramifications?
Cheers!
Max
