Regular readers of this blog will know that Sam Jain filed a motion for protective order requiring deposition to proceed by written questions, a motion which was DENIED on 22 July 2009. Sam Jain has now refused to be deposed, even refusing an offer from the FTC to be deposed by video-conference from a location […]

Maurice D’Souza Maurice D’Souza’s motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction (paper number 90) has been DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Sam Jain Sam has been busy, filing a motion for protective order requiring deposition to proceed by written questions (paper number 121). […]
I have expressed concerned about DIRECTI in the past few posts, and I now have even more cause for concern. Paul Ferguson of TrendMicro let me know about a slew of DIRECTI registered domains which are serving up exploits. How is this for a list (all of which were registered on 22 July 2009): IP […]
Directi have “suspended” masters-woodworks.com, but NOT the almost identical masterwood-works.net, or the sites awiron-work.com, freshy-girls.com or sleazy-dreams.net (all of which are on the same IP and have the same Registrant). They have also “suspended” viorfjoj-1.com (different IP, same registrant), but have NOT suspended viorfjoj-2.com or viorfjoj-3.com (again, same IP, same Registrant) Too little, too late. […]

For what its worth, I received an email within 3 hours of my report to the ad network in question, advising me that the malicious creatives had been identified and deactivated.

Research and evidence-gathering is happening as I type, and the appropriate parties will be contacted on an urgent basis. For the time being, be extremely cautious when visiting the web site. There is a thread warning of malicious content […]
The SWF advertisement pictured above retrieves content from the domain adburau.net. That content is yet another SWF. At time of writing, the SWF downloaded from the domain adburau.net was a single frame SWF with no images, or shapes, or fonts, or texts, no sounds, or videos, or buttons, or sprites, or scripts. The “Blue […]
Normally when I write about malvertizing on this blog, the “goal” of the malvertizement has been to expose victims to fake security software (aka fraudware). In one case, the “goal” was to expose the victim to a pornographic web site (complete with streaming video and sound on the opening page – mlb.com was hit […]
Sam Jain I would have loved to shine a light on some nice juicy arguments but, alas, it wasn’t to be. The entirety of Jain’s answer compromised just a few types of response, as follows: Paragraph text version 1) “Paragraph X of the Complaint contains legal conclusions to which no response is required” Paragraph text […]
