Last week we were talking about how Twitter users are encouraged to blindly click on "shortened URLs" which could actually lead to anything under the sun. We were discussing Twitter users and the Iran DDOS at the time, but other security researchers were looking at other Twitter issues, including Dancho Danchev who was discussing Ukrainian Scareware links.

We decided to follow up on one of these malware links to see if it would be an example of Chinese domain names being used by Ukrainians and Russians. (In Saturday's blog article, Spam Crisis in China we suggested that its actually Eastern Europeans who are abusing the cheap domain names in China.)
