I’ve been shocked to see the HUGE NUMBER of other sites to which News Daily 7 com may be connected and some of the strange things going on with many of those sites.
Detailed Analysis Of News Daily 7
Here’s the strangest – and maybe scariest thing – I’ve seen a site associated with News Daily 7 doing:
It appears that either the company behind News Daily 7 or a company closely associated with News Daily 7 now controls the following 2 sites:
- MicroSoftCustomerCare.com
- MicroSoftcustomerCare.net
The following video shows why I believe that to be so:
Although the above video shows what appears to be the domain MicroSoftCustomerCare.com owned and hosted by Microsoft – when I used a different tool to check the ISPs of the nameservers shown in the Whois listing for MicroSoftCustomer.com…
ISPs & Locations for Microsoft name servers For News Daily 7
…they didn’t match the actually ISP and location listed for MicroSoftCustomerCare.com which at the time of this post is:
Real ISP & Server Location MicroSoftCustomerCare.com
The video below also shows that the company behind the MicrosoftCustomerCare.com & MicrosoftCustomerCare.net domains is using them as tracking domains through Prosper202:
Both Whois history and Archive.org records have been blocked for MicrosoftCustomerCare.com I was able to find an old PowerPoint presentation that references the MicrosoftCustomerCare.com domain (see the video below):
After doing a bit of research for this News Daily 7 post I learned that it is in fact possible to inject false IP information into DNS records through something known as “DNS Cache Poisoning” and that one of the steps to prevent DNS Cache Poisoning is to make sure that DNS servers are not fully open to recursive queries.
I ran microsoftcustomercare.com through a name server report and received the following information which shows warnings about recursive queries being allowed for ns1.msft.net, ns2.msft.net, ns3.msft.net, ns4.msft.net, and ns5.msft.net
msft.net - recursive queries allowed
The image below shows that the company behind News Daily 7 com appears to be operation out of the same area of the world.
Several sites show that they are registered to a company called “Relevant Global Marketing” (more on this when I update the post)
