Can someone explain this url to me... http://refer.ccbill.com.yi.mk.gd/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=927020- - GoFuckYourself.com

Greetings friends of Gfy, I was scanning tracking stats and found this following url and have never seen it before...

We contacted CCbill about it, because it seems like one of there domains but they said it was not their domain....

they also said they are very baffled at this and it warrants further investigation. We could not agree more.

I asked if our sales could be hijacked with this and a disturbing repsonse of uncertainty was given.

They could not explain why someone was using their doamin and redirecting to our site.

Can any of you guys make sense of this for me? below is the url

Its an automated translation service:

http://www.mk.gd/

No, your sales can't be hijacked from that link. Is that the answer you were looking for?

nevermind

MK is trying to make information universally available for all people, regardless of their native language.

To use MK, append <lang>.mk.gd to the end of the hostname in the url address bar, e.g. http://www.cnn.com.cn.mk.gd/ to read CNN in Chinese.

Why would we want to click a link that you think is suspect?

But anyway, I can see how that link could execute the real ccbill link and switch
the affiliate/site code to theirs. That would actually be pretty damn easy to do.

The problem would be how to get a surfer to click the trick link.
So if there is a virus going around like the Zango thing then the virus could plug
the trick link into all sites visited by the affected surfer and take the sales from
the real affilate.

On a side note : My ccbill sign ups are non-existent!!!!

it is just online translation service ... http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3A"com.yi.mk.gd", http://mk.gd, and that subdomains is the way how they doing it ... cant say its safe or not but dont see any hacking here ...

SwirlsGirl · 09-13-2011, 06:43 AM

Okay thanks guys, nothing to worry about then...I definitely don't mind my site being translated for different countries....just worried me a little when ccbill said it was strange and could not explain... thanks for the clarity

If you scroll down to the bottom of your page you will see the translation notice provided by mk.gd.

Thanks for the feedback Black monsters! I must say that sales were non existent for the past 2 days up until we called ccbill to dispute form hit stats...

If your sales are non existent then try this...contact support and while you have them on the phone keep refreshing your admin....

for some reason a combination of dialoging with ccbill support and refreshing your admin multiple times has a weird way of generating a flurry of sales activity...it has worked for us so give it a try

It would appear that the only people getting fucked over on that URL is the affiliate.
