It's 2010 and I've recently stumbled upon yet another diverse portfolio of blackhat SEO domains this time serving rogue security software also known as scareware to unsuspecting users with the cybercriminals behind the campaign successfully earning fraudulent revenue in the process of monetizing access to malware-infected hosts largely relying on the utilization of an affiliate-network based type of revenue sharing scheme.
In this post I'll profile the infrastructure behind the campaign and provide actionable intelligence on the infrastructure behind it.
