The Story Is...
I thought I might as well tell everyone what caused my Great Hiatus.
In the first week of January this blog mysteriously disappeared. In its place was a phony blog- one with my name ("Desperate Irish Housewife") but no posts. According to its copy, the author of the phony blog was "vipvip."
The phony blog was up for about two weeks. Then one day, if you typed in this address, you got a porno site. The site offered pornographic photos and links to online porn films.
According to my web guru, the URL was stolen.
"--The person who stole (Sue's) BlogSpot URL is using a service offered by this company: http://www.videoscash.com/index.php?action=faq which pays the person a percentage of each video that gets played. I guess you have to pay to see the videos. So that's the motivation. Sue's BloSpot URL had a great Google ranking and is probably linked to from many other websites and by taking it the spammer got an instant ranking for a site that Google would never rank unless tricked into it.
--The domain name registrar for the porn URL that Sue's URL gets redirected to is estdomains http://www.estdomains.com/anacreon/?&redirectpage=%2F%3F. They have a Delaware address. The person who owns the porn URL may be a fake name and has a foriegn address."
If anyone reading this has a blog that got linked to this porn site, my deepest apologies. The whole thing was a cyber break-in. I did report it all to the FBI through their Internet Fraud site.
Anyway, if any of you are wondering if it's true that thousands of kids view internet porn "accidentally" as recent studies claim, this is how it happens. And it happens every day, to children you care about.

I can believe they see it accidentally. My five year old was standing next to me when I clicked over (linking to you and just deciding to check in before I posted), and I thank God that she wasn't looking at the monitor when it opened up.
ReplyDeleteHave I mentioned that my girls' guardian angels ROCK??!!??
Thank heavens! My husband & daughter were making fun of me because so many blogs are fake...I was starting to think you were one of those! I'm glad you're back & kudos for reporting to the feds. BTW...the little devil has his paws in everything.
ReplyDeleteOh, It is the first time I head about this kind of problem. I think that the
ReplyDeletebest way to protect is to register a domain names for our own blog url when it
become more popular. I just registered my one with
