Why is this forum domain informaction.com on a BAD host list at
http://www.securemecca.com/ ?

Moving to Metaforum.
I don't think all parts of that list are maintained. Best guess just from looking at the context would be that informaction.com was formerly used as an ad server before Giorgio started using the domain. Anyway, I don't like guessing so do you have any suggestions how to quickly search through
this lot?

From the .7z files (didn't look at the others):
Other then being listed there, in various formats, like:
Code: Select all
informaction.com has address 82.103.134.102
informaction.com 082.103.134.102 2014-06-21
informaction.com (WWW) 082.103.139.052 2014-06-21
082.103.134.102 informaction.com 2014-06-21
082.103.139.052 informaction.com (WWW) 2014-06-21
informaction.com

Thanks therube for checking that.
So we don't really know
why it's listed, but it is definitely a false positive (it's not a "bad" domain by any means). Subdomains of a domain "information.com" used to be listed there, maybe the informaction.com entry it's just a typo?
Some searching indicates that the main author of that service does have an
account on this forum but seeing that he hasn't used it in 7 years we can't assume he'd know if he receives a PM. Can someone please email him noting the link to this thread and asking him to comment?
