Insight claims turns proven lies...

Doc recently disclosed to me an recent email from Michael Willner proclaiming that Insight Cable is vigilant against Botnets. The picture above came from one of Doc's computers. Doc keeps immaculate records about attacks on his system. Here's how this attack played out.

INAP, a backbone hosting Chinese websites, had flooded Doc's computer with a worm that targets flash player-when infected, causes the flash player to crash. The flash player plugin is affected and rendered useless. Next, the "seeder" a website that obliviously hijacks the browser to a fake, but realistically Adobe webpage prompting you to download the Adobe flash player. The seeding came from 79.0.0.0/8-EC2-Amazon.com.

At given time the hacker can activate the seed, and drop any-any website with malicious bots or Mal-bots.

At this time, NAIDI recorded 1,163 botnets attacking numerous websites including wordpress. Those using AVG and McAfee were seeded. The botnet controller was Beijing in the 218.0.0.0/8 range recorded by the Adaptive Service Appliance added after the seeding.


Willner lied and now it will be the subject of many court sessions. Insight is once again asleep at the switch.
