Network shield alert (Google search link redirection)
« on: February 12, 2012, 01:25:52 PM »
okay I didn't post about it yesterday and may be I should have, see screen shot, the Network shield seems to have blocked a re-direction, from a link clicked in a Google search, to an infected site.

The original link was hxxp://11-59.com/blog-posts/secret-government/apple-iphone-4s-ands-siri-privacy-issues/

... and Google sent me there... the issue seems to come from caddylimousine.com

hxxp://wxw.google.com.url.435138767.59caddylimousine.com/url?sa=N&source=web&cd=93&ved=0xvPWsaBc&url=http://11-59.com/blog-posts/secret-government/apple-iphone-4s-ands-siri-privacy-issues/&ei=25QhfqzJ4Ki1pI2OzlAx8p21pg==&usg=FeRA-vaMgYc6xaC645oOHf&sig2=F47EjzNaEXcM6N3TTEgO9L

when the actual Google link should have been:

hxxp://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=iphone%204s%20and%20siri%20privacy&source=web&cd=4&sqi=2&ved=0CEUQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2F11-59.com%2Farchives%2F1430&ei=ZbA3T9bWJsP18QOA3MSnAg&usg=AFQjCNEpQQCTq1Bu4Y9UzTf3FHixGSDTtg

... now I'm a bit worried, no idea if that's related but we've had here on the forums quite a few issues about Google links re-directions reported lately. Any comment appreciated, thanks.


no way to reproduce, I tried again from Google and it got me directly to the right page

Is there any continuance of this or does it appear to be a one off ?

and what if the issue in on Google servers? ... just a guess ... I mean the redirection to caddylimousine.com is included in the initial Google search link.

ps: I guessed that the actual site I was looking for was clean, as Avast didn't detect anything when I got able to access it directly.

Well, is it solved for you now..??
If yes, there's no reason to dig deeper. ;)

sorry to disagree, it's not a matter of solving an own issue, as Avast blocked that thing yesterday so there was obviously no consequences whatsoever on my system, and I didn't post ... but I do today, because I want to know what, where, and how  ;D

Well, in case that it was just a FP, there's no way to answer this.... ;)

I don't think that was an FP at all Asyn ... the actual site is clean (11.59.com), but Google initially re-directed me to another site (caddylousine.com) that's probably not clean at all.

Well, I can't tell/check, as the site is down. ;)
