Vinnie 1 hit
From Spamhuntress
I had a threat posted as a comment, from the same IP address as the spammer. Saying Vinnie is no spammer.
Immediately before that guy showed up, 68.104.124.79 found my site in the referrer log of v1h.com. It took literally less than a minute for the spammer IP to show up. Maybe they were chatting at the time? Check the comment section here for the details.
I first considered this one a gnat. He was referrer spamming his forum, that looked quite nice: v1h.com.
I wonder if this is a picture of him? http://www.v1h.com/image.php?u=3&dateline=1115136143 That's registered user number 3 on his forum, after two other admins... BTW, user number 1 is koolaid69. Look below for another place where that name crops up...
But over time I saw other, more disturbing domains crop up, owned by the same guy. That includes spyware removal (almost always shady) and porn.
He hit my three major sites, about the same day this month (9-10 June). Log fragments
I also found a Forum post spam signed by Vinnie, using his e-mail address, and also using the spambot address. 2nd sample. I found a link indicating a job opening might have been posted from that IP address. Nothing there now, though.
Spambot:
- 65.50.141.2 (CPE00062575ec94-CM024370005952.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com)
Most likely his home or office cable connection. Possibly a zombie. Last seen spamming October 10, 2005
Webhost IP numbers:
- 66.230.142.101
- 66.230.142.105
- 66.230.142.116
- 66.230.142.134
He may have the numbers in between as well. It appears to me he's got a policy of one domain per IP number.
