ALERT: change of domain details - newstat.net
Those of us who are regular readers of my blog will know that newstat.net has been associated with malvertizing in the past. Its WHOIS details have recently been changed.

John Brisbone is associated with 3 other domains: aboutstat.net, freeorangestats.com and newstat.net. Note that newstat.net's Website title, at time of writing, is "BurnadsHome", and aboutstat.net's Website title is Uniquads - both are names familiar to the world of malvertizing, as is the name Serg Moon. As you'll see later in this article, burnads.com is now defunct, as is uniqads.com (both have an IP address of 127.0.0.1) and it seems that whoever it was that created the sites for newstat.net and aboutstat.net didn't bother to properly edit the new sites' code :-D
larsonown@gmail.com (which is used in association with several pseudonyms) is associated with 6 domains: aboutstat.net, freeorangestats.com, getmosales.com, newstat.net, sexprofit.com and softwareprofit.com
Let's follow the bouncing ball for a while - take a little peek at the ties that bind the above domains using various tools and services and see what we can find.... for example, we discover a couple of email addresses - admiragroup@yahoo.com and burnads_c@yahoo.com that might be worth a closer look.
We find a copy of other email addresses during our investigation - admiragroup@yahoo.com and burnads_c@yahoo.com. admiragroup@yahoo.com is associated with 6 domains: admiragroup.com, antispyexpert.com, antispyexpertpro.com, getmosales.com, malwarecrash.com and malwarecrashpro.com. burnads_c@yahoo.com is associated with two domains: burnads.com and the infamous netmediagroup.net.
