This was discovered by Heather Paulson and then published by SearchEngineJournal.com earlier today.
There are sites that looks like Google and even have an official Google IP from their headquarter in Mountain View, California showing up in their domain registration records (Who-Is) and “Ping” results, but the domain is something like xxxdisc.net or ckopo.org.
Ckopo.org is even referenced twice by the Russian Wikipedia in the article about Firebug (Firefox plug in) and “Dozory.Forbidden Games”. The references made in the Russian Wikipedia point to sub domains of Ckopo.org, which look like the Russian Firefox homepage and Firebug plug in help pages.
- What does this mean?
- Got Google Hacked?
- What is going on there and what is the purpose of this?
Every answer found so far only raised additional questions and made the whole thing even more fuzzy and suspicious.
