Wim Dankbaar Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Why do I get so many hits from these websites? http://jfkmurdersolved.com/webalizer/usage_200411.html (Scroll down to Referrers) 4 4789 2.60% http://venice.italy.hotels-advisor.com/ 5 4789 2.60% http://www.hotelsaficionado.com/ 6 4789 2.60% http://www.offshore-resources.net/ 7 4788 2.60% http://www.hispabanc.com/ 8 4788 2.60% http://www.offshore-resources.com/ 9 4788 2.60% http://www.offshore-resources.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanet Clark Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Wim This is very curious. Especially since they are all in a mathematical tie, exactly the same number of hits. They may be some sort of virus where they piggyback thru your system to spam others, although I don't know too much about that process. And the Websites themselves! Off shore banks and Italian Hotels? Inexplicable. your friend SHANET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Server's except #7 are registered at Go Daddy by: Domains by Proxy, Inc. #7 is registered at Go Daddy by: Dario Muriel Spain The whole addresses of the registrants, I won't post here. As server #7 and #8 do share the same ip address (virtual hosting), registrant of server #7 is most probably affiliated to the registrant of all the other servers. What's behind it all, well I can't say, everything possible from virus, spam to any other automated process. Don't think they tried to bring your server down by a denial of access or any other flooding attack, for that the amount of hits was too small. I think it is nothing sinister in a way you might have suspected, but you can of course ask your administrator to block those ip addresses from accessing your server. Wim, I will send you the mail addresses in privat if you need them. Edited November 12, 2004 by Dave Weaver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Eldreth Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 (edited) Wim, A long time ago that happened to me. Check your billing information. I had a bill of one month to amount to $500.00 that was on my account because of this. AOL helped me get ride of that type of virus. Took them a while before they made my bill to what it should have been. Although mine was emails being mailed from computer that I didn't do. I am not sure if this is the same thing, tough. Just take a look at your account and keep an eye on it. Edited November 13, 2004 by Nancy Eldreth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
