Suspicious ads on this cartoon streaming website?
« on: November 12, 2015, 09:22:13 PM »
Hello! I've used website "watchcartoononline.com" for a long time now and I'm aware that the site has it's problems with ads and popups, but I've always used Adblock and Noscript when visiting the site, but just today there were new ad banners that were not blocked by Adblock or Noscript. Banners themselfs seemed to be advertising some MMO online games, preview links shows ads to be hosted by "-www.mmo123.co". I cannot find anything that would prefer to that domain in neither Noscript or any online website scanners I've tried. Only Sucuri shows outdated server software.

https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/watchcartoononline.com

I looked up some names of advertised MMO's and they seem to be legit.

Nothing in particular detected here: http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=1447369033705

WordPress CMS security issue detected: Warning User Enumeration is possible.It is recommended to rename the admin user account to reduce the chance of brute force attacks occurring. As this will reduce the chance of automated password attackers gaining access. However it is important to understand that if the author archives are enabled it is usually possible to enumerate all users within a WordPress installation.

One could use the Nmap NSE enumeration scripts (use your own Nmap installation or try option 2 below) to discover additional user ID's.

Link to -engine.4dsply.com is flagged by WOT and AOS as insecure.

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Adblockers would block it and I broke the link now also as DrWeb's link checker would block it also.

No malware an sich, look here: https://www.virustotal.com/nl/file/c7da23dded25ba538127c8ba380a29e10c014dc69450cd7ee8fdef8259499217/analysis/1421494526/
