Two things you would not expect with a US Government owned domain:
1. Whois shows the original owner as the registrant
2. Domain resolves to 88.191.33.33 which is a French ip address:
Quote:
inetnum: 88.191.3.0 - 88.191.248.255
netname: FR-DEDIBOX
descr: Dedibox SAS
descr: Customers
descr: Paris, France
|
Isn't this story just a hoax to spotlight the domain?
Two more very unlikely facts:
The page at wab.com contains the following code:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.cybercrime.gov/"></script>
3. The src URL does not contain a javascript, but what it does is alerting the visitor that
www.cybercrime.gov tries to use an Akamai certificate, and also shows the cybercrime.gov site in the browsers status bar suggesting we are connecting to an official government website while in fact we are not.
4. Searching for "wab.com" or "wab" on
http://www.cybercrime.gov/ does return no results.
