📅 - Email campaigns are circulating on the Internet advertising "fraud hosting" and directing readers to a dozen domains that possibly offer these services, according to a report published yesterday by research and analysis firm Netcraft (netcraft.com).
The domains advertised in the emails include carder.org, carderclan.net, carderportal.com, carderportal.org, cc.ru, mazafaka.ru, lncrew.com, majordomo.ru and agava.com. Netcraft's report said all these sites were now offline with the exception of carderportal.org, which is reportedly being hosted at Server Beach. According to the report, the emails advertise spam and fraud hosting services as well as stolen credit cards and fake identifications. Netcraft reported that Russian hosts Nethouse and Agava Software Network hosted some of the sites listed in its report. Carderportal.com resolves to a page hosted by Netfirms, a domain and Web hosting service provider based in Toronto, Canada.
