In this case the link goes through a free web hosting site at [donotclick]longa-neara.ucoz.org which contains some heavily obfuscated javascript that eventually leads to malicious landing page on [donotclick]nikolamireasa.com/less/demands-probably.php hosted on 188.93.210.133 (logol.ru, Russia). That IP hosts the following toxic domains that you should block:
nikolamireasa.com
portgazza.cu.cc
hopercac.cu.cc
hopercas.cu.cc
ukumuxur.qhigh.com
ymuvyjih.25u.com
Heck, you might just want to cut your losses and block 188.93.210.0/23 too. Anyway, the curious thing is that the malicious javascript uses an intermediary obfuscation site called api.myobfuscate.com which you can see has been used to infect a few sites before.
Now, perhaps myobfuscate.com was created with the best of intentions, but if the bad guys have a use for it then you can bet they are probably about to abuse it in a big way.
Both api.myobfuscate.com and www.myobfuscate.com are hosted on the same IP at 188.64.170.17 (also in Russia) which is part of a tiny netblock of 188.64.170.16/31 which you may as well block too. The 188.64.170.17 IP also contains the following domains which might also be abused in the same way:
htmlobfuscator.com
api.htmlobfuscator.com
htmlobfuscator.info
javascript-obfuscator.info
javascriptcompressor.info
javascriptcrambler.com
javascriptobfuscate.com
javascriptobfuscator.info
myobfuscate.com
api.myobfuscate.com
obfuscatorjavascript.com
api.obfuscatorjavascript.com
js.robotext.com
js.robotext.info
js.robottext.ru
In my opinion, obfuscating javascript is a really bad thing and there is no legitimate reason to use it. Blocking access to free-to-use obfuscation tools like this may run the risk of breaking some legitimate sites. But only if they have been coded by idiots.
