BREAKING NEWS: BFHC HACKERS Shut Down MILNIC MEDIA Spam Operation - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

h4x0r · 05-31-2007, 03:15 AM

Brute Force Hactivist Coalition (BFHC) is a hacktivist group comprised of many anti-spam activists and hackers including several members from now disbanded or semi active underground groups such as FBH, The Bugz and LOU just to name a small few who are sick of seeing all the criminal phishing taking place daily on Myspace and are claiming responsibility for the powerful and crippling DDOS attack against MILNIC MEDIA. We are violently shutting down MILNIC because they are harboring nearly all of the criminal spammers and phishers that ruin Myspace for the rest of us.

Many of our friends and supporters on myspace were duped by illegal phishing sites and then had their accounts used to post SPAM messages that directed through MILNIC web redirect links. These criminals used our friend's accounts to illegally push such useless junk like Macy's Gift Cards and Free Iphones and clogged up everyone's Myspace profiles with that garbage. Many of the victims myspace pages had over a dozen of the same MILNIC sponsor ad showing up in their comments page and or bulletins sent to friends.
Below is just one main active example of an illegal phishing site run by a CRIMINAL PHISHER:
<url removed>

The criminal who runs that phishing site would comment and bulletin spam it everywhere on myspace and dupe tens of thousands of people everyday. After that he would push MILNIC'S GARBAGE OFFERS on all the accounts he phished up with the above phishing site. We carefully traced all the activities of this criminal spammer for several months, we even tested him by letting him phish our test accounts then seeing what spam messages he would post on those phished accounts, all of them of course were MILNIC ads and we sent numerous complaints to MILNIC about this, but came to the realization that they simply did not care and were working hand in hand with these other criminal phishers.

The criminal who runs the above phishing site also owns the following domains that redirect to MILNIC'S offers:
<url removed> (Attempts to redirect to Milnic's Macy's Gift Card offer)
<url removed> (Attempts to redirect to Milnic's Free Apple TV offer)
The most exciting detail about this criminal phisher is that his phish hosting site and the domains that redirect to Milnic's offers are hosted by Telekom Malaysia Berhad. Now how is that for being bold, MILNIC and the spam soldiers that they pay to promote their useless garbage are loud and proud and just think they can do as they wish with no intervention, MYSPACE seems to not be able to tackle the problem and we are not the type to sit back and wait for some lawsuit to take place, so it was time the real problem solvers came in and put this to an end, for the myspace community and all the victims who fell prey to MILNIC and their criminal phishing and spamming activities.

A stern and clear warning to all the other CPA advertising networks: If you try to accept the criminal phishers who are looking for a new CPA network now that Milnic is gone, WE WILL SHUT YOU DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND WILL NOT CEASE THE BRUTAL ATTACK. It is your responsibility as a ad network to screen your affiliates and verify where their traffic is coming from and how sales are being generated.

A warning to all the criminal phishers: We are watching you and now that we shut down Milnic the gloves are off. We will do everything in our power to shut you down, and to shut down any CPA networks that try to protect you. The easy money is gone, and we will hunt you down like the scum that you are, one by one until you are all gone. Time for you all to prepare for all the public exposure we will give you, publish your full names, whereabouts and all the information we can find on you, we promise to make your lives very uncomfortable as long as you continue to spam MYSPACE and victimize its members with your phishing activities. One of our members might just have the entire MILNIC database of affiliates and they might just decide to match ref codes with payment info and well, we don’t need to spell out the rest, you can all figure out how exciting that would be.
P.S.
We apologize for interrupting service on the main directtrack.com site. We only intend on shutting down Milnic redirect links.

Agreed.
Why would somebody do this to millnic... They are nothing but great guys. If someone wants to go after spammers hit up other networks

wesley · 05-31-2007, 03:33 AM

Milnic needs to do something about these phishers, now.

The thing is that millnic does terminate those phishers. I have reported them to dan, saved links and than checked back a day later and seen "This link is no longer active" or something. I believe millnicmedia should hunt that piece of shit down and sue him and his little DOS piece of shit maggot friends.

Jon · 05-31-2007, 03:40 AM

Well shit.. that explains it then. Kinda wish someone would have made a post about this way earlier today though, because I kept getting a ton of IM's asking me when it was going back up or why it was down..

I am going to have to agree with these hackers though, although I disagree with bringing the whole damn network down. Why not just punish the idiots who are stupid enough to be phishing? Maybe you guys did it to set an example, fine, understood, but even so DDOS'ing the whole network is kinda harsh. But hey, this is some pretty swift justice that maybe Myspace ought to look into doing themselves with phishers instead of just trying to sue them. I can tell ya, I'd be a lot more afraid of a team of hackers on my ass than I would from a company trying to sue me, and let's face it, maybe this is the kick in the ass that these fucking idiot kids who are phishing on there needed in order to learn their lesson.

The thing which bothers me the most is that millnic does terminate spammers unlike other networks. I have e-mailed George Avery at CPAempire multiple times to ban a few huge spammers and gotten no response. But when i hit up Dan about some little spammer the kid was terminated in 45 minutes. I must say that seeing this does make my jaw drop and i am honestly fucking speechless...

wow
WOW
WOW
WOW thats all i can fucking say

Actually, there's a great deal more to the story than we originally found out or heard about. Networks like ClickBooth look the other way when it comes to Myspace phishers and hardcore email spammers. I'm not just saying that because of my strong dislike for the owner, but because it's been going on for fucking YEARS and someone needs to take them by the balls and show them, with force, that if you continue to allow this shit, someone very pissed off will come around and make you pay either by taking their site down, or fucking with their affiliates, or just plain suing the shit out of them to shut them down for good.

I may catch a lot of shit for agreeing with the hacker squad over there, but you have to admit, going the brute force route certainly does serve as a pretty damn convincing warning, and it's not like they are just picking on someone randomly. Again, I am AGAINST them in taking down MillNic, but guys, this shit happens for a reason, and I would love to see the proof they collected on that phishing idiot so I can make sure someone as careless and selfish as that never works for any other network again. Time to get tough on these fuckers who think they are invincible. I could care less about people on Myspace though, but holy shit, after a network and some affiliates get flat out sued by Myspace for millions of dollars, and people still do the phishing crap because they think they are too smart to be caught, THEN they damn well deserve it.

Hacker peoples = Can you send me the phisher's info or proof of what he did? Maybe a bit more input here too would be nice.

Completely Agreed Jon.. Make sure this spammer doesn't make a penny costing other networks their success again. I think that the hacker should have targeted the spammer. Not the whole fucking network!

Well for one Jon! We do not condone phishing of any type! We terminate anyone we catch. For two, they didnt hit just us they hit the whole DT datacenter.

As far as gone, these little kids need to keep on wishing. As harrison said in the previous post, several times he has helped us catch and terminate phishers. Thats how it works. We screen the affiliates, affiliates lie, they do something stupid, we catch them, terminate them and life goes on. So enough of this JUSTICE BULLSHIT. And although phishing is frowned upon, Illegal maybe not. But bringing down a company like Direct Track and all the companies involved with them,, well yeah thats illegal. We have been on the horn all day with DT and working some shit out,. they said it was a good attack, Isolating the IP's etc etc. Really who gives a fuck. Some little fag that the mom should have thrown the kid away and kept the afterbirth knows how to ddos. and gets Righteous in his thinking.

Nice one post wonder. Will pass the post to DT and maybe we will see how deep we can track the guy. I am sure with 30 networks going down due to this asshat, they will want to find him and they will have the support of multiple networks.

Deliguy · 05-31-2007, 03:53 AM

do you wear a red cape when you're on the computer?

Emagineinc · 05-31-2007, 03:56 AM

I'm not gonna lie, I think they set a good example, while obviously a little over-the-top. Hopefully this will inspire some good filtering of affiliates and their lead generation in regards to myspace phishing. At least they posted this in the right place. This is gonna be a big shakeup with the networks, should be interesting.

wesley · 05-31-2007, 03:57 AM

I have to wonder why it's so easy for these "little kids" (as you call them) to take down millnic/directtrack? What kind of lacking security do you guys have over there?

Have you taken new precautions so this doesn't happen again?

Mill I think you misread my posts.. I am siding with the hackers for going up against the phishing kids. That is justice well served. But I don't agree with them bringing you guys down over the work of one stupid kid with a total disregard for rules. I'm pretty shady too, but this phishing shit is a step below anything I'd ever do or get involved in. ESPECIALLY after Myspace sued some affiliates and a network over it, and this kid just goes about his business like nothing fucking happened? Fuck that kid. You guys should be pissed off to hell and make sure the kid gets banned everywhere.

Yeah, what this hacker coalition thing did was kinda fucked up too to bring down all of these networks along with it. I don't agree with them for going after you guys either. I think that they should have first reported the dumb kid to you guys, and if nothing was done about it THEN take action. The DDOS attack should have been a last resort weapon, not a first line of defense... and if anyone that should have been DDOS'ed, it should have been the phishing kid's sites, all of them.. wooosh, gone. Or do what I do with scammers. Post their info up with their pics, etc, so to ensure they do not fuck around again.

Emagineinc · 05-31-2007, 04:00 AM

A ddos done right is really hard to stop, cause they usually scale it up like whoa, if I understand right...something like instead of a site getting 2000 hits a day, a ddos is the equivilant of 2000 hits every second or couple seconds?

I thought the same thing...
Directtrack claims to have:
"Technical StabilityRedundant Tier one Internet connections=Load Balanced Web Servers to balance out traffic spikesDaily data back-up's and 24-hour performance monitoring"(But Directtrack is a fucking joke)

But i guess a load balance was not enough to handle some piece of shit spammer... I think this alerted millnic that leaving directtrack might be a wise idea...

Mill · 05-31-2007, 04:02 AM

So what you tards are saying is you think someone should commit a federal felony to make a dumb affiliate learn a lesson?? An affiliate that would be caught eventually anyways. You guys are friggin geniuses.

This guys in a spot now he want get out of. Only so much proxies and cloaking can be done. I spoke with George ( Pres DT ) today, and we will see some fun times with this one. Think about, the guy gets a link from an affiliate, and takes down a Multi Million dollar companies Data centers, with multiple companies all being effected.

BRILLIANT <guiness draft>

wesley · 05-31-2007, 04:03 AM

Someone is cranky today.

Emagineinc · 05-31-2007, 04:04 AM

Yeah, coulda been a better way to go about it, targeted vengeance woulda served its purpose...like instead of taking down the whole network, secretly tracking the phishers and reporting them so you can exterminate them prolly woulda been more practical, and definately less attention drawn to them, cause i'm sure mill and the whole DT network isn't just gonna sit back.

Emagineinc · 05-31-2007, 04:06 AM

" BRILLIANT <guiness draft>" I love those commercials

xharrisonx · 05-31-2007, 04:06 AM

Jeremy (mill)... I hope you make this kids life a living hell. You could take several approaches I hope You, your lawyers and the DT lawyers come up with the most harsh form of punishment to make the piece of shit that did this to you suffer.
To bad its not Saudi Arabia with public beheading nd shit

Mill · 05-31-2007, 04:07 AM

Well back at your other post jon, the issue is not with us,,, hell we have had some stupid ass affiliates try some really stupid shit. They all get caught, they all get terminated. We do not allow phishing of any type.

Hell we have had people report links to directtrack, they call us, we terminate the affiliate all is good. The fact is that the 99.9% of the other affiliates that make a living using us, this fukn douchebag cumstain just fucked them over also. thats what pisses me off. And yeah we may have a couple k affiliates, but you need to multiply that by 10-30 as these tubesteak suckers took down 10's of networks. Shows their real skill i guess.

DYN- O- MITE

What is that supposed to imply?

We do not take the precautions, thats what we pay Digital River / DirectTrack to do. So if anyone is cranky, you better believe they are.

You can't be serious right? Dude, amazon went down from the weight of the $100 xbox 360s a while back, and that was just regular users bringing down the servers of the biggest online retailer in the world.

a DDoS is almost impossible to stop when done on a large scale like it seems it was done here.

xharrisonx · 05-31-2007, 04:19 AM

Wow...Im curious to what will happen. I have to goto sleep though...

I hope everybody realizes that millnicmedia did not do anything wrong and was simply struck by bad faith...

Sucks

Well an early 20ish male isnt actually a kid. But now I have him. Thx for the tips. DT and I will have fun tommorow! Makes sense, now. ( wonders if mS will want his info also? I bet_) We even have this kids banking info.. HAHAHAHA

Hmmm…. reminds me of misguided animal-rights activists. Generalizing, out-of-context, self-righteous crap! “Hackers” on a moral crusade….

From the original post:

"we even tested him by letting him phish our test accounts then seeing what spam messages he would post on those phished accounts, all of them of course were MILNIC ads and we sent numerous complaints to MILNIC about this, but came to the realization that they simply did not care and were working hand in hand with these other criminal phishers."

If that is true, then it's a case of the biter being bitten i.e. rough justice.

Heartcore · 05-31-2007, 08:08 AM

That doesn't justify the fact that honest affiliates are being punished for others actions.

Regardless of weather it was right or wrong I can bet that MILNIC will catch the phishers/spammers a lot quicker now.

The ironic part of it for me is that, the most popular way I know to do a DDOS attack, is with a bot network. To make a bot network, you have to install Trojans on peoples computers. I put phishing/Trojans in the same category.

Brad101 · 05-31-2007, 09:54 AM

Now, if he wants to put his talents to profitable use - such as hacking .edu accounts - he should PM me or smaxor.

LazyHippy · 05-31-2007, 10:14 AM

Interesting to see the hackers fighting on the same side as myspace, really it should be down to murdoch to clean up his fuckin site rather than just figuring out more ways to influence the users and use their info for his personal gain.

I agree it was out of order for them to take down DT, but if what the statement says is correct and Millnic chose to ignore reports of phishing, then fair enough.

Next time bring down murdochspace though. If ya can hit murdoch where it hurts - take out a fox news or sky datacentre (or please... hack the sun). Make News Corp share prices plummet then they might take notice and stop this shit.

Although networks don't help by not being able to respond to all complaints i feel that it is myspace's responsibility to clean up the website. They have already taken significant steps to end phishing but there has still not been a fix. I am friends with the head of myspace abuse (jason w.) and he has told me they work really hard on getting rid of spam. Its nearly impossible for a website to rid of all spam and that is what needs to be realized. Look at e-mail it is filled with spam and nobody can seem to end the bursts of spam we receive. Its pretty much the same thing

zayd · 05-31-2007, 11:19 AM

Holy hell, that sucks.

I remember emailing Chickenhole awhile back about a dumbass MySpace phisher. I never got an email back and assumed he just ignored it. Kind of frusterating, but I guess Mill is saying that they really do go after them. I guess I'll have to hunt some more down and report them if that's the case. I can't stand the fact these little pukes think they can get away with pulling this crap.
Retards, all of them.

I agree, spam is hard to stop, but they could at least inform their users about phishing activities.

While banks, credit card companies, even eBay regularly warn their users about phishing, myspace does not. I've never seen an email or homepage message warning users about where they enter their login details. It appears that they don't care as long as the money keeps rolling in and News Corp can gather information and spread influence.

maybe Mill will learn a lesson and get their own backend instead of DirectHack.

agreed, DT is a joke, but they are a quick solution to someone who does not have any tracking.

I know MILL is working on getting their own tracking system...

I hope the "A-TEAM" is fully back up on their feet soon!

h4x0r Junior Member Join Date: May 2007 Posts: 1 iTrader: 0 / 0%	BREAKING NEWS: BFHC HACKERS Shut Down MILNIC MEDIA Spam Operation Brute Force Hactivist Coalition (BFHC) is a hacktivist group comprised of many anti-spam activists and hackers including several members from now disbanded or semi active underground groups such as FBH, The Bugz and LOU just to name a small few who are sick of seeing all the criminal phishing taking place daily on Myspace and are claiming responsibility for the powerful and crippling DDOS attack against MILNIC MEDIA. We are violently shutting down MILNIC because they are harboring nearly all of the criminal spammers and phishers that ruin Myspace for the rest of us. Many of our friends and supporters on myspace were duped by illegal phishing sites and then had their accounts used to post SPAM messages that directed through MILNIC web redirect links. These criminals used our friend's accounts to illegally push such useless junk like Macy's Gift Cards and Free Iphones and clogged up everyone's Myspace profiles with that garbage. Many of the victims myspace pages had over a dozen of the same MILNIC sponsor ad showing up in their comments page and or bulletins sent to friends. Below is just one main active example of an illegal phishing site run by a CRIMINAL PHISHER: <url removed> The criminal who runs that phishing site would comment and bulletin spam it everywhere on myspace and dupe tens of thousands of people everyday. After that he would push MILNIC'S GARBAGE OFFERS on all the accounts he phished up with the above phishing site. We carefully traced all the activities of this criminal spammer for several months, we even tested him by letting him phish our test accounts then seeing what spam messages he would post on those phished accounts, all of them of course were MILNIC ads and we sent numerous complaints to MILNIC about this, but came to the realization that they simply did not care and were working hand in hand with these other criminal phishers. The criminal who runs the above phishing site also owns the following domains that redirect to MILNIC'S offers: <url removed> (Attempts to redirect to Milnic's Macy's Gift Card offer) <url removed> (Attempts to redirect to Milnic's Free Apple TV offer) The most exciting detail about this criminal phisher is that his phish hosting site and the domains that redirect to Milnic's offers are hosted by Telekom Malaysia Berhad. Now how is that for being bold, MILNIC and the spam soldiers that they pay to promote their useless garbage are loud and proud and just think they can do as they wish with no intervention, MYSPACE seems to not be able to tackle the problem and we are not the type to sit back and wait for some lawsuit to take place, so it was time the real problem solvers came in and put this to an end, for the myspace community and all the victims who fell prey to MILNIC and their criminal phishing and spamming activities. A stern and clear warning to all the other CPA advertising networks: If you try to accept the criminal phishers who are looking for a new CPA network now that Milnic is gone, WE WILL SHUT YOU DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND WILL NOT CEASE THE BRUTAL ATTACK. It is your responsibility as a ad network to screen your affiliates and verify where their traffic is coming from and how sales are being generated. A warning to all the criminal phishers: We are watching you and now that we shut down Milnic the gloves are off. We will do everything in our power to shut you down, and to shut down any CPA networks that try to protect you. The easy money is gone, and we will hunt you down like the scum that you are, one by one until you are all gone. Time for you all to prepare for all the public exposure we will give you, publish your full names, whereabouts and all the information we can find on you, we promise to make your lives very uncomfortable as long as you continue to spam MYSPACE and victimize its members with your phishing activities. One of our members might just have the entire MILNIC database of affiliates and they might just decide to match ref codes with payment info and well, we don’t need to spell out the rest, you can all figure out how exciting that would be. P.S. We apologize for interrupting service on the main directtrack.com site. We only intend on shutting down Milnic redirect links. ---BFHC - Brute Force Hactivist Coalition

An affiliate that would be caught eventually anyways. You guys are friggin geniuses. This guys in a spot now he want get out of. Only so much proxies and cloaking can be done. I spoke with George ( Pres DT ) today, and we will see some fun times with this one. Think about, the guy gets a link from an affiliate, and takes down a Multi Million dollar companies Data centers, with multiple companies all being effected.

Hopefully this will inspire some good filtering of affiliates and their lead generation in regards to myspace phishing. At least they posted this in the right place. This is gonna be a big shakeup with the networks, should be interesting.

wesley Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 441 iTrader: 0 / 0%	I have to wonder why it's so easy for these "little kids" (as you call them) to take down millnic/directtrack? What kind of lacking security do you guys have over there? Have you taken new precautions so this doesn't happen again?

Emagineinc Banned Join Date: Apr 2007 Posts: 46 iTrader: 0 / 0%	A ddos done right is really hard to stop, cause they usually scale it up like whoa, if I understand right...something like instead of a site getting 2000 hits a day, a ddos is the equivilant of 2000 hits every second or couple seconds?

Emagineinc Banned Join Date: Apr 2007 Posts: 46 iTrader: 0 / 0%	Yeah, coulda been a better way to go about it, targeted vengeance woulda served its purpose...like instead of taking down the whole network, secretly tracking the phishers and reporting them so you can exterminate them prolly woulda been more practical, and definately less attention drawn to them, cause i'm sure mill and the whole DT network isn't just gonna sit back.

Mill Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: North Carolina Posts: 370 iTrader: 0 / 0%	Well back at your other post jon, the issue is not with us,,, hell we have had some stupid ass affiliates try some really stupid shit. They all get caught, they all get terminated. We do not allow phishing of any type. Hell we have had people report links to directtrack, they call us, we terminate the affiliate all is good. The fact is that the 99.9% of the other affiliates that make a living using us, this fukn douchebag cumstain just fucked them over also. thats what pisses me off. And yeah we may have a couple k affiliates, but you need to multiply that by 10-30 as these tubesteak suckers took down 10's of networks. Shows their real skill i guess.

If that is true, then it's a case of the biter being bitten i.e. rough justice. __________________ TigerTom

The ironic part of it for me is that, the most popular way I know to do a DDOS attack, is with a bot network. To make a bot network, you have to install Trojans on peoples computers. I put phishing/Trojans in the same category.

Posts: 2,954 iTrader: 9 / 100%	Interesting to see the hackers fighting on the same side as myspace, really it should be down to murdoch to clean up his fuckin site rather than just figuring out more ways to influence the users and use their info for his personal gain. I agree it was out of order for them to take down DT, but if what the statement says is correct and Millnic chose to ignore reports of phishing, then fair enough. Next time bring down murdochspace though. If ya can hit murdoch where it hurts - take out a fox news or sky datacentre (or please... hack the sun). Make News Corp share prices plummet then they might take notice and stop this shit. __________________ Create easy content & video sites: Caffeinated Content discount codes, demos & tutorials.

zayd Boom Join Date: May 2007 Posts: 262 iTrader: 0 / 0%	Holy hell, that sucks. I remember emailing Chickenhole awhile back about a dumbass MySpace phisher. I never got an email back and assumed he just ignored it. Kind of frusterating, but I guess Mill is saying that they really do go after them. I guess I'll have to hunt some more down and report them if that's the case. I can't stand the fact these little pukes think they can get away with pulling this crap. Retards, all of them.
