Remember when Komando posted about not ignoring warnings that the browser puts up to try and protect you? Well, I have a perfect example of this.
Do not visit this page, or if you do, you’ll get warnings.
I just was looking at my email and saw an email about my Norton Subscription. OK, Its Spam, I say because I don’t have Norton on this computer. All it leads to is a link and a bunch of nonsensical text as Spam goes. Checked the email address and its coming from that same domain.
What’s the domain you ask? Its heatwell.email.
Name Cheap is one such registrar that sells .email domains. For searching purposes, I looked my name up and under more domains after the large list of ones they offer, you can select more and I found jaredrimer.email for sale. No, I’m not buying it, but it is a new domain.
While I only used two services which I have bookmarked, there is no who is information available for this domain. One of my favorite services which we’ve not talked about says that it is resolved to an IP which is not in the database of abused IP addresses. Since Google and Chrome knows its malicious, there’s nothing for me to do.
Accrording to Virus Total 4 venders flag it as malicious. Its status is 403. All four of the venders, listed in alphabetical order says its phishing. Google safe browsing on Firefox and google Chrome will not let you visit it. Not without jumping through hoops anyway.
Its last analysis was 7 days ago (UTC) time.
While one service for reporting abusive IP address says it is a 172 IP range, Virus Total under details shows a 104 IP range. I’m not going to give the info, I’m just showing you what these tools offer.
The rest of the tabs yield nothing of value, but worth looking at.
This is why it is important to check things out before visiting pages, as in this case, both browsers I use on the PC side told me its a problem, but some sites I’ve seen do not.
I di not link to the page and I am posting this to show you what I’m seeing.
If there are questions, please get in touch. Thanks for reading, and make it a great day!
