PaulAuckNZ Posted October 9, 2009 ID:140049 Share Posted October 9, 2009 This alert seems to pop up, when I connect to a server in MIRC / IRC (specifically iinet.wa.au.austnet.org (I think). Since this is the only time it tells me its blocked this ip. Any idea why it would say this (its only popped up in the last few days). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryFCM Posted October 9, 2009 ID:140069 Share Posted October 9, 2009 This IP is on a range that was involved in a slew of extremely nasty exploits last month. However, re-checking the domains involved shows they no longer resolve, and the IP's seem to have been cleaned up, so this block will be removed on the next update.

PaulAuckNZ Posted October 9, 2009 Author ID:140083 Share Posted October 9, 2009 So was this ip involved in something like a botnet in IRC, or something?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryFCM Posted October 9, 2009 ID:140383 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Not quite, no. It was involved in the mass compromise of other sites, that lead to those sites serving exploits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
