kudos:10 | What was the exact search term you typed into Microsoft Bing to produce your search results? I would like to try to reproduce this myself. What did you search for and what is the name of the forum? |

okay i typed in myg0t and it's the 3rd result |
|
1 edit | When I use the Bing search engine with Firefox l7.0.1 and click on the third link I get this. Looks like they are redoing the site for whatever reason. Gets to 97.74.244.25 in 7 hops. Virus total URL scanner is too busy to check history this morning.
Edit: Is this what you are looking for: »irc.mygot.com/ |

well if you went to the forum yesterday and today it shows a message...there is a good chance the admin of the site is responsible.
It could have been a cross site scripting attack. |
|
| i didn't think of that...it could have been cross site scripting.
i tried to replicate what happened today but to no avail....weird. |

This isnt the first time i've experienced something happen like that of this nature.
Couple of months ago i was on google researching some info....i clicked the google result...instead of ending up at the correct website....this little pop up happened.
i typed in the url normally and the website showed up.
This also occurred in google before. |

upon further research i discovered
Almost two of every three malicious redirects in major search engines are found on Bing,

kudos:10 | This is where I was taken to, third result down on the Bing search engine. Is this the right page? All seems normal. |
|
| reply to SweetNoob
also i don't think it was a polish site the url ended with a .pl and was asking for some plugin to be installed. my guess is it was some perl script.... |
|
| reply to SweetNoob
yes it's correct. but on bing i clicked »forums.myg0t.com/ - apparently today the site admin removed the forums for upgrading.
It could've been the webmaster of the site. because after that i typed in myg0t.com and i was also redirected to a random site.
I closed my browser and clicked it from google and went to the forums yesterday all loaded fine.
Today i tried to replicate but they changed the index of the homepage
i have obsessive compulsive disorder...so because i could not replicate the error i am not sure if it was bing that caused it or the webmaster.
Anyway it's not important. |

I concluded my dns cache was probably poisoned. |

anyway i have also discovered
Manipulation by ISPs
A number of consumer ISPs such as OpenDNS,[2] Cablevision's Optimum Online,[3] Comcast,[4] Time Warner, Cox Communications, RCN,[5] Rogers,[6] Charter Communications, Verizon, Virgin Media, Frontier Communications, Bell Sympatico,[7] UPC,[8] T-Online,[9] Optus,[10] Mediacom,[11] ONO,[12] TalkTalk[13] and Bigpond (Telstra)[14][15][16][17] use DNS hijacking for their own purposes, such as displaying advertisements[18] or collecting statistics. This practice violates the RFC standard for DNS (NXDOMAIN) responses,[19] and can potentially open users to cross-site scripting attack |

The tool will help find the fastest DNS server and will show if it uses any type of redirection. |
