DNS spamming?
Oct. 6th, 2005 11:41 pmI have Bulldog 8MBit broadband at home. Every so often, usually late at night, the DNS servers respond by pointing every request (regardless of DNS name) to bargain-flights.gb.net. WTF?
I can't find anything online about this. Tellingly, the web site has no facility that allows email to be sent, nor does it give any actual real-world contact information (phone numbers/address/etc.). However, whois is my friend:
whois bargain-flights.gb.net
Domain Name: bargain-flights.gb.net
Registrant: Portal Team
Administrative, Technical, and Billing Contact:
Sivananda Ganesamoorthy (H122681) siva@gnsiva.org
GNSiva.org
64-66 Coleman Street
London
EC2R 5BX
UK
Tel. +44.2081040467
Record created on: 20 January 2005

Domain servers in listed order:
NS0.CENTRALNIC.NET 213.146.149.169
NS1.CENTRALNIC.NET 213.146.149.134
Has anyone else seen this? I am pretty furious at the moment, because I'm trying to sort stuff out for my talk in Birmingham tomorrow and all I can get is this piece of crap spam site. Grr2.
