Riddle us this, Batman
Hi folks,
Normally, we provide answers here, but today we have a question.
If you whois xpantivirus2008.com, it shows that the registrar is ESTDOMAINS (the actual owner is hidden, as usual).
If you look up the IP address of xpantivirus2008.com, it shows as 72.14.207.99.
If you whois 72.14.207.99, _that_ shows as GOOGLE!
The question is .... why? All we can think of is that they have a sense of humor.
Cheers
Roger

It's very common actually.
They try to:
1)fool automated blacklists
2)Use alternate hostnames for services that work on any hostname pointed at an IP
3)They have polluted caches of vistims with long TTL's and want to throw researchers off the scent.
4)the domain has served it's use and they no longer want the traffic.
You have hit reason #4 I think the IP you needed was 69.50.173.10 from a month or two ago.

These are always fun to plug into the Reverse IP Lookup tool from CRUSH that I blogged about a while back.
On page two you'll find google.com but you'll also find quite a few others.
Your website is awsome!!!
