Account Suspended

[ugly.orion65]

Hello, We have a free domain named betatest.x10.mx which have been suspended due to fraudulent phishing page uploading. We, HackShark is an international open source cyber forensic community. We admit, we have uploaded those phishing pages. On 23rd September 2011, we had a seminar at Kolaghat Engineering College on cyber security. To show some demonstration, we uploaded some phishing pages at betatest.x10.mx. We planned to use this site for demonstration, testing, training and experiments. For reference, visit this facebook link: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.226425974082711.58355.163023010423008&type=1

So, we request to unsuspend that account. If you don't unsuspend it, then also please let us know, we will have to find another domain.

Phishing is illegal and there is zero tolerance for it here at x10hosting, meaning no second chances. Your account is permanently suspended.

That's alright for us. We'll find any other hosting service. As I told you before, we do phishing for demonstration in seminars only, so we can't stop doing it. Anyway, thanks for the quick reply.

Well, you have your own domain and site.

Why didn't you use that account for your phishing demo?

host 1 free not like the idea there either? Oh! in their T.O.S.: • No warez / hacking / phishing sites;

It would seem to me that any organisation claiming to be dedicated to security would be running from a secured environment if it cared in any way about its credibility. HTTP on a server that does not offer secure access would be an immediate red flag in my book. Active phishing pages (rather than screenshots) would be another -- anybody who is sufficiently interested can create the page; there's no need to have working examples (a discussion of the techniques underlying would be sufficient -- although it would still be against the ToS for this particular host). For a seminar, a local webserver on your presentation laptop would have sufficed, and even been better -- you could have used things like Unicode ambiguity to increase awareness.

Oddly enough, "education" is the number one excuse given for maintaining phishing pages here. And it takes very little effort to create a ghost organisation (look at the trouble that Pierre Plantard's non-existent Prieury de Sion has caused over the years). If you're serious, you need to get a lot more serious about building up your bona fides, no matter which host you eventually intend to use. A public record of having been booted from a variety of web hosts is working in the wrong direction.

Obviously. As our site is not more than 6 months old (however, our community is in it's teen-age now). We're planning to move our server. Anyway, we already found another hosting service for our experimental domain. So, I think the chapter is closed now.

We hate the word 'excuse'. So, you can think whatever you can, we don't care. you can read the 'About Us' section at our website http://hackshark.com/?page_id=2
