FP? 209.190.74.76

[daledoc1]

Hello:

MBAM Pro just blocked IP 209.190.74.76.

At the time, I was online (FF 3.6) at Capital One Direct Banking (208.80.48.112) looking at some of their online banking options.

The exact URL was:

http://www.capitalone.com/directbanking/mo...5_R1_04_T_SP25R

(I was not logged in, had not entered any personal information, nor was my browser hijacked or subject to any other apparent redirect.)

Needless to say, before I even consider opening an account, I need to know if this was a FP, a real intrusion attempt from this IP, or a coincidence.

Thanks!

It's not an F/P, and more curiously, I can't reproduce it.

The IP belongs to exelator.biz/.com. This company is involved in tracking etc, and was recently implicated in malvertisements and click fraud (though this was likely their "customers" fault rather than theirs), for example;

http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?md...83d7c6e4327dd4c

I've seen nothing from them that's malicious, over the past couple of weeks however, so I'll get the IP removed.

The Capital One site itself is perfectly safe. This loading likely came from advertisements on the page.

WHEW!

That scared the pajamas off me.

FWIW, I tried browsing to the CapitalOneDirect website again, and it happened again (and again).

I did try to notify the "webmaster" (though there was no specific contact info for this) by sending an email to their fraud department, but I don't expect to hear back.

Thanks for letting me know.

(FWIW I just finished a deep MBAM scan, which picked up nothing, and my (worthless) McAfee Security Center (which never detects nothing) did not pick up anything at all (worrisome, as usual).)
