Bluemountain.com spoof?

Got a strange email today that said I had a postcard at Blue Mountain, except that it’s a bad link, the url is this:

http: //217.10.252.53:8180/008/ (but it looks like a ‘bluemountain.com’ link… sure you know what I mean)

Clicked on the link assuming it was my kid sending a Mothers Day ecard.

What do you think?

According to ip2location, this IP address is in Bulgaria. If the page was still working when you clicked on it, I assume it tried to install some sort of malware.

It’ll be some of the more aggressive, assholish spam.

And bluemountain.com’s IP address is: 64.14.122.229/

My vote goes to creative maliciousness. It’s probably some kids personal computer.

Have you gotten firefox yet?

Very strange indeed that a web site would be set up to receive input on port 8180. Unless he was trying to hide.
