“Your device has been blocked due to illegal activity” — 🙄 sure it has. After fat-fingering github[.]com, we were redirected to a domain running a fake Microsoft tech support scams: pop-ups that lock your browser, shout scary messages, and push you to call a “support” number (aka the scammer who’ll walk you through installing remote access tools).

They're hosted on legit infra like Azure blobs or Cloudflare Pages. That one redirect led to uncovering 1,200+ other domains hosting identical fake support pages. Of course, whenever a redirect like this happens, there's a malicious traffic distribution system (TDS) involved.

Examples include:
- tenecitur.z1.web.core.windows[.]net

- neon-kleicha-36b137[.]netlify[.]app

- us6fixyourwindowsnow[.]pages[.]dev

- microsoft-coral-app-6xv89.ondigitalocean[.]app

@ricmac One thing that strikes me about the fediverse is how bitter it is about X (and of course this is just a proxy for hatred of Elon Musk, which, in turn, is just a proxy for hatred of Trump).

If being a “human” network means fixating on humanity’s base tribal tendencies, that’s a shame, don’t you think?

Is this a political party or a cult? It's impossible to tell with Republicans! From trying to put this living president's face on currency, making his birthday a national holiday, putting him on Mount Rushmore or... whatever the f--- THIS is, they have definitely jumped in the cult realm!

USA TODAY · Lawmakers push to classify 'Trump derangement syndrome' as a mental illness in MinnesotaBy , USA TODAY

If you'll gather 'round me, children
A story I will tell
'Bout pretty horny Justin Eichorn
Minnesota knew him well

Eichorn was a trumper
Deranged as a rabid squirrel
Got elected to Minnesota's Senate
To target liberals

Pretty Justin Eichorn
Solicited minors for romance
Sooner or later incels
Can't keep it in their pants

His fondness for this minor
It was strong and it was true
But instead of that purty girl
He got the Boys in Blue

CONFIRMED:
"A Republican state lawmaker in Minnesota who recently introduced a bill to create a mental illness category for liberals obsessed over Donald Trump was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly soliciting a minor for prostitution.

Minnesota senator Justin Eichorn was arrested and booked on Tuesday...."

The Guardian · Republican who introduced Trump derangement syndrome bill arrested for soliciting a minorBy Rachel Leingang

The hack that turned the US government website of the Center for Disease Control into a porn site turns out to be more interesting than I originally thought. And that's not just because the CDC has not done anything to fix the problem 24 hours later...
 
Yesterday we found that a number of universities, enterprises and other government sites have been hacked by the same actor. Visiting the specific URLs takes you into a malicious adtech traffic distribution system (TDS). Depending on your device and location, you might get the pornography. bud, you also might get other scams like scareware. From my sacrificial phone, I was able to trigger a bunch of push notification requests.
 
Bottom Line: malicious adtech pays, their TDS allow actors to hide, and hackers are quite happy to compromise well known websites to get that money. But it's not just about scams, these types of techniques are frequently used for delivering information stealers, which lead to breaches.
 
Here's a few notes about the attack:
* The site is modified to add pages which attempt to load a specific image name. If that isn't there, then it redirects to the actor controlled malicious domain which funnels into the TDS
* The actor seems to be using blogspot for this now, but previously used a tiny URL. From here they will go to adtech TDS.
* There were what seemed possible to be dangling CNAME records in many cases, but in some of them didn't appear to be any issues with the DNS records. I suspect combo of accesses.
* In cases where there's no apparent DNS record issue, the legit site seems to be hosting in GitHub. Perhaps they have a credential compromised.
* I saw at least two adtech companies used, Adsterra and Roller Ads. these are checking for VPN and anonymous proxies before serving the final landing page.
* This image redirect actor seems to be riding off of a different actor who originally hacked the site, uses SEO poisoning techniques, and hacked universities to host porn content.
 
I put a bunch of images in imgur.
 
Thanks Krebs for the lead.

This is a thoughtful, expansive response to #TaNehisiCoates being "interviewed" on #CBS Mornings on Monday.
newrepublic.com/article/186577

My reaction to the same segment (my wife saw it live & insisted I had to see it) which I found later that day:
1) Tony Dokoupil revealed his ignorance & bias as soon as he opened his mouth
2) TD packed multiple lies and distortions into his first question (was it really even a q?)
#MediaBias #MSM

(In contrast, JonStewart's #TDS interview with TNC was excellent.)

The New Republic · The Appalling Attack on Ta-Nehisi Coates Is a Massive Media FailingIt is not antisemitic to defend Palestinian human rights. And it’s past time for more American Jews to say so to correct a media that’s lost the thread.

Here is a traffic distribution system (TDS) in action. Fairly often when talking about TDS, I get the rebuttal: when i visited that domain, i only saw parking. Exactly. That's the point. :) A malicious TDS is like a router for malware -- the goal is to bring the best victims to the best malicious offering. And to play dead when it looks like they might be caught, aka look like parking or search ads.

What these images show is the difference between visiting the site tokclix[.]live from a scanner (urlscan) versus from a real Android phone. The former leads you to (sketchy) search arbitrage and the latter is classic scareware. This is what a TDS does.

Found this particular one while researching search arbitrage so it is fairly random. started with an old post on BlackHat World but the domains were all still live. On the screen capture you can see the redirects through the TDS.

The imgur video shows the original click to scareware -- watch the redirects.

This attack is unbelievably powerful, easy, and preventable. It’s the criminal’s best kept secret. Much stealthier and more effective than dangling CNAMEs. We found many Russian-nexus actors, but we suspect there are more to be found. Please boost for awareness and hope we aren’t rediscovering this attack in another 6 years. Thanks to everyone contributed to our understanding of the attack and the actors using it … including Proofpoint, @rmceoin Dave Safely, Mandatory, and @briankrebs @dnsoarc #sittingducks #dns #domainhijacking #cybercrime #cybersecurity #infosec #threatintel #malware #phishing #tds #vextrio #404tds #threatintelligence #infoblox @knitcode blogs.infoblox.com/threat-inte

"Je comprends pas ce que vous faites.

Ces derniers mois on était alignés sur le fait de pas défendre les #JOParis2024, quoi que #Macron nous présente. Et on était d'ailleurs très content d'apprendre que la pluie allait peut-être gâcher le spectacle.

Pour rappel, ces JO c'est avant toute chose des gens morts, des milliers de familles avec nourrissons mises à la rue sans #relogement, des #étudiants chassés de chez eux, des #SDF et des #TDS pourchassés par la #police, des aides financières supprimées à de nombreuses associations
