Merlyn Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 If MSN stops the redirect this makes the spam worthless. MSN will also have better luck getting the jerks taken down as I am sure their legal department acts upon abuse of their systems......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmaxx Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 Got another one: http://ads.msn.com/ads/adredir.asp?image=/...f_id=hckc649txe should go to spam[at]ms.hinet.net. escaped version of the above url is http://ads.msn.com/ads/adredir.asp?image=/...f_id=hckc649txe SC tracking URL: http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z445654047ze3...9cdd38c0f92496z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSN will also have better luck getting the jerks taken down as I am sure their legal department acts upon abuse of their systems......... Then why does SpamCop not report it to 'em? SpamCop refuses to report it as an open redirect... Guess I'll send a custom LART to "abuse[at]msn.com" advising them of the open redirect on the next one I get... I just wish Hinet wouldn't be so receptive to spammer's money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I follow the tracking URL I see: Report routing for 65.54.195.187: abuse[at]msn.com ISP does not wish to receive reports regarding http://ads.msn.com/ads/adredir.asp?image=/...f_id=bivk229uie - no date available http://ads.msn.com/ads/adredir.asp?image=/ads/imgsfs/ckd4ryyg87xw75.gif&url=http://www.evergreenwholesaledist.info/b/?aff_id=bivk229uie has been appealed previously.

dra007 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I have noticed msn rejects reports, even if I wrote them myself, they never replied. And I get tons of spam at my msn add... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have "view technical details" enabled? Yes... I've got "View Technical Details" However, it's actually two URLs -- one is MSN's redirector, the other is the spamvertised URL that's generally hidden. Why does SpamCop pick up that sort of URL when it's an AOL or Yahoo redirector being abused, but fail to pick up the redirected website when it's an MSN redirector being abused? Either way, at least the end website should be LARTed, no? Besides, maybe it's not been made clear to MSN what's happening here... I've sent them a couple LARTs since this to the effect that their redirector is being abused by third parties and making them look bad. Maybe they'll take a clue, maybe not, but at least they've been notified and SpamCop should pick up that it's a redirect and LART the end website.
