Hi malware fighters,
Scroogle search service is back up, but has been faced with another problem now, here is the scroogle blocklist against this botnet http://www.scroogle.org/malips.txt and http://www.scroogle.org/ip2coun.txt
Where it comes from seems clear: htxp://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbw.cgi?Gw=
But what is it? Does it have to do with trackbacks, re: http://topsy.com/scroogle.org/ and is it browser malware related?
It is SEO-malvertising and leeching and has it to do with malicious Bit Torrents?, re: http://www.leechermods.com/2007/08/malicious-bittorrent-clients-new-coat.html
Who has some insights on this one?
Maybe it has to do with this, because scroogle for a long time was the P2P search engine of choice:

Can one see a connection here with the Pirate Bay hack?I think that may be too far fetched.
