I've been on the receiving end of this. Though maybe a different group. The attacker was redirecting users to my pages with their ads. All complaints were then directed to us. It's not a fun place to bein having to explain to a bunch of angry people that yes it's your site but it's not really your site.
- codezero 15y agoThanks for clarifying, I probably just don't quite understand how businesses went about being duped.
- bluedanieru 15y agoI don't think they were duped at all. From what I can tell from the article, this is malware pointing machines to a bogus DNS server, not businesses using a shady registrar. These is little an affected business could do about it. I'm not sure if sanswork is describing the same thing but he could be.
