Perhaps the poster recieved various spam promoting services hosted on 4everdns.com, googled for 4everdns.com and found a post in the planet forums spamming the above link that also contained a sysip.net javascript - ie the spammer the poster refers to was a "participant" in one of the pagesence trials. |
The thing that looks most likely to me from reading early 2006 posts on this in various forums is that there was indeed trialling going on before the dates we have seen that BT admitted to. The early 2006 posts seem to be describing the same phenomenon of browser hijack - redirection.
So was this another secret trial with BT or with another ISP?
In the UK or another country?
Some of the forums discussing this have the starting date of posts noticing browser hijack, well back in 2006 before June.
The leaked BT report refers to a trial between 23rd September and 6th October. So what are people doing seeing this exact phenomenon prior to those dates - in April and
May the same year?
I've made an attempt to contact the poster of the above and find out who his ISP were at that time.
snip - incorrect date reference.
Phorm PR care to comment?
In the interests of transparency and openness and as part of the online privacy revolution?
