WTF is britisharmy.co.uk? Posted by Sean @ 13:47 GMT

Lt.Col James Dox of the 1st Battalion 63rd Armor Regiment recently contacted me.

He made me an offer:

Thanks, but no thanks, James.

But hey, your e-mail address is interesting, what the heck is @britisharmy.co.uk?

Turns out that the domain britisharmy.co.uk is registered to an UK based ISP called Freeola since 1999.

They offer free "occupational based" e-mail account names…

It appears to be for fun and games. But unfortunately, it seems that an 419 advance fee fraudster now has other ideas.

Hmm, britishintelligence.co.uk is also available.

I've always wanted to be a secret agent.
