When idiots attack
Usually, the edits are quite small. But then someone replaced the article with this edit with following text containing a number of obviously false allegations:
Ripoff Report is a privately owned and operated for-profit website founded by consumer advocate Ed Magedson. Who is a fraud star and he is also a Child molester. He used to live in Tampa, Florida, people say he is hiding now in Arizona but actually he lives out side of the USA. FBI is looking for him as well. He claims that he is the consumer advocate. In reality he is actually a communist and he does now not want to Free market to spread out. He is a real scammer and extortionist! People be care full!! The Ripoff Report has been online since December 1998 and is operated by Xcentric Ventures, LLC is a fradulent company which is based in Tempe, Arizona.[1] Ed Magedson is the site's current Editor-in-Chief.
If we want to grow Free Economy and grow America we must stop this fraudulent monster. He caused a serious damage too many good people. All he cares about his own money! He must be brought to justice!
At the same token Google, Yahoo and Bing are supporting him! He must be black listed in all search engines!
Almost all the old text from the article was deleted, and the highlighted section above added. What the heck is a "Fraud star" anyway? So who wrote this illiterate drivel? Well, Wikipedia helpfully records the editor's IP address of 74.92.194.46, which is..

Googling for "nations warranty" marietta is pretty revealing and it leads us to this SEC complaint from 2008 which says:
The Commission alleges that since approximately January 2008, Mikula, a recidivist securities law violator, and Craddock, acting individually or through Nations Warranty or JW&P Consulting, have used misrepresentations and omissions of material fact to offer and sell approximately $2.8 million of securities issued by Nations Warranty in unregistered transactions to approximately 120 investors.
The Complaint alleges that Mikula, operating through his wholly-owned entity JW&P Consulting, and Craddock used material misrepresentations and omissions of material facts to offer and sell short-term promissory notes issued by Nations Warranty. The notes were sold with terms of either 100 or 220 days, and promised rates of return of 4% or 5% per month, respectively. Among the misrepresentations and omissions, the defendants described Nations Warranty to investors as a profitable company when, in fact, Nations Warranty has incurred a net loss of at least $1.2 million during 2008. Defendants also claimed the Nations Warranty notes were "guaranteed" when, in fact, they were not.
Furthermore, Defendants represented that JW&P Consulting had evaluated the risks of investing in Nations Warranty notes and had found the risks acceptable. However, Defendants failed to disclose that JW&P Consulting was nothing more than Mikula himself and that Mikula had been enjoined in a Commission action in July 2007 for operating a Ponzi scheme.
As a result of this fraud, the company was liquidated. Presumably whoever posted the Wikipedia edits confuses free market economics with fraud.
Here's the odd thing.. the SEC actions took place in 2008, so why start griping four years later? There's only a single entry that I can find on Ripoff Report here, and that dates from other three years ago. Not really very current, is it? Or perhaps Nations Warranty have popped up again under a new name?

There's some horribly mangled HTML that prevents it from loading properly, but the key annoyance is that this so-called special offer expired on "April 30, 2012 midnight PST" but the email was only sent on the 26th May from an IP address of 66.150.202.2.

Where's the malware spam?
When malware spam drops, I notice that fake pharma spam pops up instead, and furthermore malware spam runs are hardly ever at weekends when pharma takes over. And yes.. there's been an uptick of pharma spam lately which follows the pattern.
This malware spam run has been going on for months now, with a few breaks of a few weeks each time. I can't believe that anything fundamental has changed. So stay alert!

Synovate / Avios "Share your opinion and win an iPad!" spam
From: Loyalty Research loyaltyresearch@synovate.net
Reply-To: loyaltyresearch@synovate.net
Date: 21 May 2012 08:41
Subject: Share your opinion and win an iPad!
Dear Mr Xxxxx,
We are contacting you from Synovate, an independent market research agency and would like to invite you to take part in a survey on behalf of a leading loyalty rewards programme, that you are a member of.
Your name has been given to us in good faith by this company and their loyalty programme name will be revealed to you at the end of the survey.
As a thank you for your participation we will enter you into a prize draw to win a fantastic iPad. Your opinions will be used to improve products and services.
This survey should take less than 20 minutes to complete, and will close on the 30th May 2012
Please click on the link below to begin the survey (CLICK ONCE ONLY):
https://wbint6web.synovate.net/syn.asp?s=XXXXX&p=XXXXX&i=XXXXX&w=XXXXX
Your identity will not be revealed to any third party
All information that we collect is strictly confidential and participation will not lead to any unsolicited mail, phone calls, or e-mails.
Your name will never be associated with your specific responses as they will be combined with those of other respondents. You can view our privacy policy at: http://www.synovate.com/legal/
If the survey link does not open, close the browser window then copy and paste the link into the address line of a new browser window and press enter.
If you exit the survey unexpectedly or accidentally close your Internet browser, clicking on the link above will allow you to re-enter the survey and continue where you left off.
If you have any comments or questions about this survey, please e-mail loyaltyresearch@synovate.net and include this survey ID number XXXXX along with any correspondence.
Kind regards,
The Synovate Team
This e-mail is being sent to you by Synovate on behalf of a leading customer loyalty company. Synovate and this company attempt to comply with all governmental laws for commercial e-mail. We have contacted you specifically either because you agreed to be on their mailing list to receive correspondence such as this, or you have previously participated in a survey on behalf of this company. Who this company is will be revealed at the end of the interview. If you do not wish to receive further communication from us, please reply to this email and let us know.
Terms & Conditions
1. The prize is a 16gb iPad with wi-fi
2. The prize draw is open to participants of this survey aged 18 or over resident in the UK, excluding employees and past employees of Synovate or anyone materially connected to the administration of the prize draw.
3. Entry to the draw is by completion and submission of the survey. No purchase is required.
4. Closing date for all entries into the prize draw is 30th May 2012 at 12pm. No responsibility will be taken for entries lost, damaged, incomplete or illegible. Proof of submitting will not be accepted as proof of delivery. Entries may be disqualified if incomplete or illegible.
5. Only one entry per person may be submitted.
6. The draw will take place by 30.06.12.
7. The prize will be awarded to the first eligible entry drawn.
8. The winner will be notified in writing by 06.07.12.
9. The winner will receive their prize by post no later than 20.07.12.
10. If a winner cannot be contacted within 14 days from the draw date, an alternative winner will be drawn.
11. The name and county of the winner will be available to anyone sending a stamped addressed envelope to Ipsos, Prize Draw Winner, c/o Toby Rogers, Minerva House, 5 Montague Close, London, SE1 9AY within 28 days of the published closing date.
12. All entrants to the prize draw will be deemed to have accepted the rules.
13. No alternatives to the prize offered will be given.
The bit that says "Who this company is will be revealed at the end of the interview" is particular appalling as the only way to find out who sold your contact details is to do the suvey! Well, not quite.. because the email address Synovate sent to is only used for registration at Avios (formerly Airmiles). So Avios sold on my contact details for the survey.
Oh well, easily fixed. We just need to change the privacy settings in Avios to stop this happening.. oh wait, third party emails don't appear in the "contact preferences" section of their site at all:
So what does their privacy policy say? Well:
Direct Marketing and who your data may be passed to
Your data may be passed to carefully selected companies that distribute Avios or companies that we think may be of interest to you. We may also pass your details to suppliers that process data on our behalf. On occasion we may use and disclose data on a collective basis for marketing and research cases but will not in such cases provide individual customer data.So, you passed my contact details to Synovate for market research purposes, and there's no apparent opt out. Unless perhaps I do it in writing as you can't opt out on the web site..
How to remove yourself from our communication listingsThis is really shabby marketing. Avios haven't breached their own privacy policy as it allows them to sell your contact details on in this way, but most consumers won't be expecting it. You should never, ever click on an unsolicited link like this (because it could lead to malware) and Avios and Synovate should at least make their relationship clear in the email rather than keeping it as a secret until you do the survey.
If you do not wish to receive promotional mailings, simply inform us by writing to the address below. Please note that you may still receive an Avios statement as part of your membership.
Customer Account Management
PO Box 90,
Birchwood,
Warrington,
WA3 7XA.
And why is this spam? Well, in my opinion the email is unsolicited, Avios members cannot apparently opt-out or control these, and the relationship of the recipient to the sender is unclear. Avios and Synovate serious need to clean up their act IMO.

The malicious payload is an exploit kit at computerpills.net/main.php?page=beb0bb4c8ebd96e5 hosted on 37.59.68.23 (OVH, UK) which is the same server used in this attack, the payload looks to be the same as the one used in this other attack, with a very low detection rate at VirusTotal of just 3/42.

Blocking the IP is a good proactive step to stop this from being a problem.

How to access The Pirate Bay on Virgin Media
I don't approve of pirating copyrighted material, but I also don't approve of censorship.On balance I think that censorship is the worst of the two, so I was quite annoyed to find that Virgin Media is censoring the Pirate Bay.
Here's a newsflash. Not everything listed on the Pirate Bay is actually subject to copyright. As with many things, it's what you do with a tool like the Pirate Bay that counts. So, let's say that you have a legitimate use for looking at the Pirate Bay and you're a Virgin Media customer (or another UK ISP that has blocked TPB).. how do you do it?
Well, there's a mirror of The Pirate Bay hosted on the same IP address and domain as the UK's Pirate Party at https://tpb.pirateparty.org.uk/. Not many people know that all UK political parties have to be registered at the Electoral Commission, and the Pirate Party is indeed a properly registered political party (click to enlarge)..
Although the technology employed by Virgin Media is perfectly capable of blocking part of a website and leaving the rest accessible, it's quite possible that censoring part of a website belonging to a legally constituted political party might just be a step too far..
It isn't Virgin Media's fault (they have a shedload of their own, this is not one of them), but something they've been obliged to do through the courts.Sorry, the web page you have requested is not available through Virgin Media.
Virgin Media has received an order from the Courts requiring us to prevent access to this site in order to help protect against copyright infringement.
