[Hidden-tech] Web URL hijack

[David Ruderman]

Jim,

Actually those two 'bogus' domain names are registered to you. Perhaps you
set this up long ago. Like Chris below, the work for me.

I suspect you may have some adware running on your machine and your browser
may be compromised. You should run something like 'ad-aware' on your machine
and make sure it's behaving well.

Those two URLs behave like redirects which can be done in your DNS entry.

Running 'whois' on those domains you mentioned return info similar to this:
	
Domain name: national-wireless.com

Meanwhile rf-wireless.com is registered here:

I hope that helps.

They all 3 are identical for me when I click on the URLs you provided in
your email...  the contents are identical - only the addresses in the
browser address bar reflect the different URLs. Corresponding links on the 3
sites take me to corresponding matching pages... in short, I don't see any
hijacking going on - just 3 identical web sites at 3 similar URLs... So
perhaps your browser or your web service has been altered/"hijacked" in some
way?
