Why Fraudware is so rampant
I've mentioned several times about the explosion of malicious sites that hosts Fraudware ... mainly bogus Antispyware programs ... one of the main reasons is that the various "ICANN Registrars" continue to register domains that are from known criminal enterprises ...
They just seem to turn a blind-eye toward the "Registrant" (domain owner) even though they (ICANN Registrars) have previously shutdown sites that are malicious from the same known bad "Registrant" ...
In the above "for777daily.com" has been shutdown (Domain status: on-hold generic) ... now notice the "owns 589 other domains"
And here "Shestakov Yuriy" owns 4,332 other domains ... but check the email address = same as the example above ...
Imagine that ... another 2,128 domains and the same email address ... so if you add those up = 7,049 domains ... and as far as I can tell they are all malicious! ... so you have to ask yourself ... why after the first few times these culprits get shut down ... why are they allowed to register more domains?
Now if you check the above site via Google's SafeBrowser Diagnostic (moviesportal2008pc.com) it shows the following:
Malicious software includes 1227 trojan(s).
Yes, this site has hosted malicious software over the past 90 days. It infected 276 domain(s)
Until ICANN steps up and puts a stop to these practices, we will no doubt be inundated with malicious sites ... many of us in the security field have complained to both ICANN and the hosting service where the malicious domains reside (IP location) ... but it does little good ... even if they do act, it's only to shut down a few sites while allowing the same culprits to continue their fraudulent practices ...
