Evil network: Komplit Plyus LLC / AS56697 (91.226.78.0/24)
I came across Komplit Plyus LLC / AS56697 (91.226.78.0/24) while having a look at this injection attack. At first glance it looked like everything in this /24 was dodgy. After taking a close look, I cannot find a single legitimate site in this range and would strongly recommend that you block it.
A full list of domains and MyWOT scores can be found here.Alternatively, I have highlighted some of the non-pharma sites below, which appear to contain malware sites, money mule sites and other nastiness.

gbfhju.com/r.php injection attack in progress
I haven't seen much buzz about this injection attack yet, but several hundred thousand pages have been infected with an injection attack pointing to gbfhju.com/r.php.
According to this Google search there are 236,000 hits for the search string "gbfhju.com/r.php". The sites seem to be randomly distributed through the web, although I couldn't spot any infected UK or US Government or University sites.
The domain gbfhju.com is registered with a set of details that should be familiar to IT security researchers:
These details are connected to the LizaMoon gang. The site is hosted on 91.226.78.148 which is Komplit Plyus in Russia.91.226.78.0/24 is a real sewer of malware sites, money mule and phishing sites and fake pharma outlets and is well worth blocking.
The following domains are hosted on 91.226.78.148 and they can all be assumed to be dangerous:
fgthyj.com
gbfhju.com
hjfghj.com
statsmy.com
stmyst.com
yourpagestat.com
yourpagestats.com
These other domains are also being used in injection attacks (usually overlapping each other). Blocking the IP range will stop any other attacks coming from this hosting provider.

Mid Bedfordshire Constituency and Nadine Dorries - time to go
I don't often get to write about politics on this blog, and I know that most of my readers won't really care.. so scroll on :)
There are proposals to abolish the UK parliamentary constituency of mid-Bedfordshire (where I live). The current MP is Nadine Dorries who is fighting a desperate rearguard action to try to get the proposals overturned. However, not everybody supports Ms Dorries and her campaign, and it seems to me that the proposals (outlined here) are a very good thing and should be supported.
The deadline for submissions is 30th March, the email address to send them to is reviews -at- bcommengland.x.gsi.gov.uk - obviously you can send what you like, but this is what I have sent:
Dear Chairman,
I am writing to support the dissolution of the Mid Bedfordshire parliamentary constituency for the following reasons:
1) The current constituency does not represent a cohesive entity. It is merely a rural "filler" between the urban areas to the north and south.
2) The proposed boundaries reflect closely "Travel to Work Areas" and takes into account that the north of the county is more closely affiliated with Bedford, and the south of the county with Luton and Dunstable.
Although there are obviously some compromises in the way the proposed boundaries have been drawn up, it is my belief that the proposals have been made with some care and understanding of the demographics of the area. In my view the proposed arrangements will be much better for the residents of the current Mid Bedfordshire parliamentary constituency, and that the constituency should be abolished and new boundaries should be established based on those proposed.
