HizeCool

Well, I noticed there’s a huge spike of traffic the other day. Usually on the weekend which reached up to 600 unique visitors per day. That’s a lot for me. So, what I need to do? I check with the analytics and found out that most of the traffic originated from webmail sites whereby all the emails redirect to my blog.

Actually, on Friday I received an email from funchords.com stating that my hizecool.com domain has been labeled as a phishing site. I was informed to disable the sites as someone whom hacked my hosting early last year put up a backdoor and eventually as a phishing sites. In order to stop the phishing, I redirect them to my main page which is hizecool.com. To make sure that the funchords are not labeling my sites as phishing sites anymore, i need to redirect them to page 404 or 405.

Phishing sites are a theft in progress! If you can, quickly
disable this Phishing site, or notify someone who can.

Advice: The appearance of a Phishing Site on a server means that
someone intruded into the system. The server’s owner should
disconnect and not return the system into service until an
audit is performed to ensure no data was lost, that all OS and
internet software is up to date with the latest security fixes,
and that any backdoors and other exploits left by the intruders
are closed. Logs should be preserved and analysed and, perhaps,
the appropriate law enforcement agencies notified.

You may forward my information to law enforcement, CERTs,
other responsible admins, or similar agencies.

Thank you for your prompt response in this matter.

Together, let’s make the net a better place.
