Got a fresh e-mail from one of the Pirates' new Domain hosts.
Seems they are late in supplying the required ID. No ID, no hosting next week.
sounds like you are making progress, good stuff!
A bunch of their Domains are now toast.
They had difficulty producing a valid ID for their new hosting company - after I pointed out what they were doing with their Domains, and the hacking of the innocent Drupal sites by their spambots.
yoursharemaster . net hosted in Canada died Monday. Then they concocted the obvious red flag searchfilez . net and moved to Germany, which fried 24 hours later, today.
The spambots had a .in Domain. I found a hacked Drupal site where the spambot botched the post, and put the spam URL link as code, thus revealing the .in Domain, that resolved to yoursharemaster and then to searchfilez. That Domain burned up like so much Curry sauce today as well.
Then, considering the application steps I went through to process with CCBill, I wonder how they got on with Plimus, to be able to process the $4.95 trial memberships to download the illegal files.
Like many people in Adult, I have had other careers in my 61-year life, before letting jocks blow me on camera for fun and profit.
In 1986, I hosted one of the first social network modem based BBSs in the country.
In 1994, I got my first Internet connection. From 1995-2002, I programmed CISCO routers at an ISP that had 125+ of them, as well as doing hands-on DNS work.
It took a few minutes to dust off the cobwebs in the echoes of my mind to remember the WHOIS and NSLOOKUPs and TRACEROUTEs that fried these Pirates.
Of course, they probably will be back tomorrow, but they've burned a lot of bridges over the past 2-3 days, and have left a pretty littered trail.
So their credit card biller shut them down.
Two network hosts took down their Domains.
About 2 dozen network hosts took down the hacked Drupal site accounts, not just the posts, because the admins weren't moderating posts.
Blogspot took down a hacked post.
I've got about 10 more pending.
nice work, congrats!
And then I worked with Google webmaster tools to report bad URLs. Many are gone.
In a simple Google search, I would type in "Male Nude Photography Nick Baer", and there would be dozens of results - over 70 - for hacked Drupal sites, with spambot posts to the filesharing links.
I'm working on whittling that down to as few as possible. Most of the links now go to account suspended or 404s.
