EstDomains Denies Links To Malware Distribution
According to an article on DomainNews.Com. Several quotes from the article:
“In addition to the constant monitoring of its infrastructure, EstDomains, Inc has created a unique system that allows reveal direct malware sources along with potentially dangerous web sites. Further, the detailed reports with warnings are sent to hosting companies and Registrars in order to notify them about the threat and to ask for the measures to be taken. In addition to independently lead investigations, EstDomains, Inc relies on the information available from such influential anti-malware organizations and listings as webhelper4u.net, malwaredomainlist.com, hosts-file.net, malwaredomains.com, malwarebytes.org and many others”
.. and ..
“The company also has a reliable ally in its battle against malware in a face of Intercage, Inc which provides company with the hosting services of the highest quality. But the outstanding performance of hosting services is not the sole reason why EstDomains, Inc appreciates this partnership so greatly. Intercage, Inc generously provides EstDomains, Inc specialists with reports regarding discovered malware vehicles. As the main database for additional domain name management services is located in Intercage Data Center, EstDomains, Inc has the perfect opportunity to get notifications of the slightest mark of malware presence in the shortest time and take measures in advance.”
If you ask me, it’s a load of nonsense. We have constantly reported EstDomains Inc to be involved with rogues. Why come out now?
And not even a month ago a member, who claimed to be from EstDomains, posted on Malwarebytes.org informing them he/she could close down sites associated with rogues. Going by the name of EstMate, this member appears to be shutting down domains so far.
I have some doubts about the timing of the article and them appearing on forums. Are they really bothered now? Or is it just a PR stunt? Chat about it here.
