Its just another godaddy registration - you can use any old crap to register a domain with GD.
There is a Facebook wall https://www.facebook.com/fahim.arif.9 where we can see posts advertising same site for two years. Look on all details of this account. There are 175688 tweets on http://twitter.com/Meyraj about this gaming site There are spams over half year in OpenCV lists under his name and Software Engineer related to computer vision does not notice it.
Agreed! My assumption was the professor had been hacked by a student (perhaps he left his desktop open and a waiting grad student did a tools-options-security->view passwords in his open browser). Not exactly "leet" but... This ties in well with the gaming site and the rather clueless txtspeak. I somehow doubt that a resident (published) professor would write in that style. My advice would be to report the abuse to the uni and drop the matter. They may have not responded bacause they are in the process of prosecuting the little trog responsible or he just wants to hide the fact that he has been hacked from other staff :-) IMHO Give the guy the benefit of the doubt - but it does not hurt to block all incoming traffic for the uni and report any ads instigated from dialups to the appropriate ISP pointing out thet link to the assumed hacked account of said professor. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
