jagk.com Performs Preemptive Strike Against Referral Spammer

Posted by Tony Buser Thu, 17 Feb 2005 17:36:20 GMT

I was looking through my logs to weed out referral spammers and saw a domain that looked odd called jagk.com. So I visted the site and found the following message:

jagk.com coming soon So I was looking through my referer logs, and found a spammer pushing a domain, "jagk.com" -- but the domain hadn't been registered yet. So in a preemptive strike, I registered jagk.com for myself. And why not? It's a nice, short name, and I'm sure I can do something better with it than any spammer ever could. Watch this space.

That man deserves a cookie. Thanks! In case you're wondering, spammers have begun using a new technique to get around DNS based anti-spam lookups by registering a domain AFTER they've sent out a load of spam.
