All the domains listed by Trend Micro as neighbours appear to be down.
Have to say as someone whose employer will buy and host a domain name if you fill in the credit card details and the credit card company accept them, if you listed only the sites we've cancelled first thing on a Monday morning (or as soon as we are notified) we'd look pretty poor.
From the many adverse comments about the hosting services in use they look as bad as they come, but on the other hand this weakens the usefulness of the Trend statement (well to people who check what they are told).
Were the sites up when the announcement was made?
The sites that were listed are just a few examples of the hundreds of domains located there that are engaged in criminal activity. The fact that they are down now really doesn't factor into the equation -- the history of criminal activity within that prefix speaks for itself. - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.5.3 (Build 5003) wj8DBQFNDnKvq1pz9mNUZTMRAt1oAKDUBfzjaxV2EfXZk5jHvfDew9doRACbBEtw kgzjPTjszG03KdQT+XJakUA= =v2QK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
