Anti-Phishing Link

Post by Michael »

I was searching the forums and tried to view an old topic about betanews.com using the link http://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?f= ... com#p17640. However, I was instead redirected to http://www.dimenoc.com/antiphish/#p17640, something that I presume should not occur. The most peculiar part is that I can still view the topic if I do not include the "&hilit=paypal.com" string in the page query (http://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?f= ... 87&p=17640). Is this an automatic safety precaution taken by the hosting provider of the forums?

Would make sense: Lanik's host (surpasshosting) seems to use the dimenoc network: http://whois.domaintools.com/www.surpasshosting.com
