Ask HN: How do I report a possible spammer/hacker
So in the wake of the Facebook post w.r.t. email addresses showing up in google searches, I decided to google my email address and see if it comes up.
It didn't come up in a search for facebook listings but I did find my email address on this one site. I clicked on the link and turns out its a list of email addresses that someone's possibly selling to spammers.
Upon further poking around, I saw a file (there could be more of such files) having CC numbers and some tools to carry out SQL injections.
Is the Internet Crime Complaint Center the way to go?
- desigooner 16y agooh forgot the address of the site: http://nambua.com/ http://nambua.com/ It's registered to someone in Miami and hosted with theplanet.com
- thaumaturgy 16y agoHmm. aff.txt contains what looks like credit card credentials, complete with likely-looking cvc numbers and challenge question/answers. I would usually start with a phone call to theplanet.com, but that's me. These days though it's hard to get ISPs to care. EDIT: Yipes. Careful accessing this site. I can't be positive but accessing /fl/ appears to be doing something really oddball; might be trying browser exploits.
- oomkiller 16y agoDo a WHOIS query on the IP's netblock to get the abuse address and send them an email. BTW it looks like the IP (112.140.184.245) is registered to Sparkstation, which is in Singapore (APNIC). Their address is: noc@sparkstation.net
- desigooner 16y agoI contacted the host (theplanet.com) about the abuse but haven't heard back from them as of this moment. I'll email Sparkstation if I don't get a response from the host. Thanks a lot.
