A co-worker opened IE on a win-7 machine a few days ago and typed what
she thought was "google.ca" into the browser location bar. It's highly
likely that she mistyped one of the characters or added an additional
character. When she hit enter, the browser displayed this site:
alert.window-alert-k.com/index-BB.html?isp=X
NOTE: The above URL (minus the ?isp= part) contains an irritating
script that will make it impossible to dismiss the webpage or close the
browser, unless, perhaps, your browser has scripts disabled by default.
A screen capture that I'm looking at now gives a partial readout for
what "X" is - and it's the name of our ISP.
Using wget to download a copy of the html file and submitting it to VT
gives NO hits.
A google search for "alert.window-alert-k.com" (using quotes) gives no
hits at all. Apparently nobody has ever mentioned that domain in any
web-document, blog, forum, etc.
And can someone explain the whois info for this domain?
