It’s my URL, right? To anyone, these look like two nested subdomains belonging to me, purely because the “dotcom” is in it’s proper place and all that.<\/p>\n

Okay go ahead and click it – no worries, I’ll wait.<\/p>\n

Ta Da! That site is Not Mine. In fact I have no clue why this site comes up. That page is a perfect copy of this page<\/a>. I suspect it’s in place for some nefarious reason that I really don’t want any part of.<\/p>\n

How did I discover this? I got an email from a chap in Australia saying that this page<\/p>\n

http:\/\/admin.domain.deadrobot.com\/SignIn\/<\/a><\/p>\n

is phishing for sign ins on his site, admin.domain.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course I’m mortified. I’ve checked all my logs and stats and quite frankly I’m baffled. I have no clue how they’re redirecting to their subdomains while using my domain name.<\/p>\n
