I was just taking a guess at what could have happened. But it sounds like it would work. You buy www.google.com.net and then you wait for their DNS to mess up and you get thousands and thousands of hits to your spyware site. Possible Passive Pharming attack? Anyone know for sure what happen?

I am surprised no one has talked about the Google DNS issue. Users were tricked into going to SoGoSearch.com because of IE'sgreat domainsearch function. When IE can't find a site, it starts tosearch. Well,SoGoSearch.com owns www.google.com.net, and therefore that is why people were getting spyware/adware junk.-----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-bounces () lists grok org uk [mailto:full-disclosure-bounces () lists grok org uk] On Behalf Of Morning Wood Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 1:21 PM To: P Ellison; full-disclosure () lists grok org uk Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Firefox & Mozilla Advisory wtf??? - - - - this HAS BEEN PATCHED no "heads-up" needed ( you missed the boat by a week ) BUT THANKS FOR PLAYING! ----- Original Message ----- From: "P Ellison" <peter.jfactu () btinternet com> To: <full-disclosure () lists grok org uk> Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 9:21 AM Subject: [Full-disclosure] Firefox & Mozilla Advisory _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
