thesource.ofallevil.com ?

What's this? A phishing site?

http://thesource.ofallevil.com/commu...sta.sec urity

It has Live-ID log-in, but the dns name and IP-addy aren't Redmond's, but
Theplanet.com, a web host in Houston. The Live-ID log-in button takes you to
live.com, but the log-in doesn't work.

Or is it just a geeky joke, hence the site name?

Thanx PA Bear. I read the threads, but there is one question I can't find an
answer to. This site has a Live-ID sign-in button. Clicking it sends you
straight to login.live.com, which is a legit MS site. Still I wonder, can
thesource.ofallevil.com intercept a Live-ID and password when you enter this
info at live.com, having been referred from the non-MS site first? Not that
I'm willing to try...

I find it strange that login.live.com appears to be down when I'm referred
from there, but it's not when I click a sign-in button at Microsoft.com.

Also, does anybody know who is actually operating thesource.ofallevil.com?

Drop thesource.ofallevil.com in Google and you will see several more
hits.

I looked at it and the google references. It looks like a joke being
played on Microsoft.

All I can tell you is the MS is aware of it. Given their reluctance to say
anything else publicly and the fact that the link still takes you to a real
MS page, one might assume MS (now) owns the domain.

A cheap SEO trick, then. Who'd guess... Thanx for replying. Anyway, think
I'm gonna watch carefully for what "Microsoft" sites show up in web searches
from now on.

Mr. Dyer,

Is Site Advisor compatible with Vista? Have you seen any posts stating
that Site Advisor has caused any problems?
Thank you for any assistance provided.

C.B.
