Typosquatting Posted by Mikko @ 07:01 GMT

nortpnantivirusRemember the Googkle.com case?

We just noticed that some clown from Panama has been registering typosquatting domains like
"www-f-secure.com" and "wwwf-secure.com". Which at the moment point to a web site called "nortpnantivirus.com". Oh well.

At least this site isn't used for phishing or for downloading trojans.

Edited to add: These guys are fairly serious, looking at the amount of security-related domains they've registered (over 150!). These include:

 f-secue.com
 mesagelabs.com
 mcafeeantiviru.com
 bitdefneder.com
 pestpatorl.com
 wwwbullguard.com
 pandafirewall.com
 sendamil.org
 centralcomand.com
(Thanks, Micha!)

PS. Here's two photo collections posted by visitors to our lab. Especially the picture set from Trifinite really shows Helsinki at it's best...
