Beware of WWW.1URL.IN: Systematic Redirection to Malicious Websites (3)

anti spam






TOKYO (MacHouse) – An organized cyber scum group has circulated another comment to advertise spam links created at 1 URL (http://www.1url.in). (See Screenshot 01.) A new set of spam links created at 1 URL includes numbers starting from 27383 through 27433 with a total of 50 links. If you access any of the shorten links, you can be redirected to a fake PornTube website, a fake free adult movie website or a fake anti-virus scan website.

One of the redirection destination is a fake free adult movie website at the domain of 2008-adult-2008.com. (See Screenshot 02.) If you access this domain, you will be forced to download a file titled “MediaTubeCodec_ver1.213.0.exe” in a matter of a few seconds. (See Screenshot 03.) It presumably contains a computer virus.

Another redirection destination is a notorious fake PornTube website hosted at the domain of tubescollection.com. (See Screenshot 04.) Upon arrival, you will be forced to download a file titled ’1023.dmg,’ which contains a Trojan horse derivative. Synmantec, the developer of Norton AntiVirus, calls this computer virus OSX.RSPlug.A. This fake PornTube website is visually disturbing because what’s partially shown in Screenshot 04 is an apparently underaged girl being fully naked.

Another confirmed destination is a fake anti-virus scan website hosted at the domain of virus-scanonline.com. (See Screenshot 05.) The domain is different from antivirus-scanonline.com. But it’s hosted at a German web hosting company called Hetzner Online AG, which also hosts the fake anti-virus scan website at the domain of antivirus-scanonline.com.
