The folks over at Bleeding Snort have issued an alert on domain issues. It turns out that one of the URLs that they owned the rights to appears to have lapsed and was scooped up by a group that might potentially be using it to distribute malware. Here is the passage from their site on the domain issue.
We’ve never used bleedingsnort.org as a distributed link, but some people in the past had assumed that was the domain (org vs com), so we had owned the domain.
Somehow I let that domain expire and someone picked it up on the 27th, it’s now got the standard crap trying to distribute malware and search crud.
So a reminder: If you hit that, it’s not us. Our primary domain is and always has been bleedingsnort.com.
