Earlier today, I logged into my web host’s control panel. I noticed that this month’s bandwidth usage was much higher than usual. Traffic to the sites hosted there has been steady, so I started to investigate. I soon found that there were a lot of requests coming in from three unknown domains. I looked at those websites, and found something very peculiar. Something that I think reeks of fraud. Here’s what I found.
