Another episode from the "spammers are stupid" department: So we got another porn referrer spam - nothing new. But this one tried to spam an index.html page (which we don't have) with a referrer for a subdomain that has a space in it - an invalid URL.
Other than that, it was a professional job: The referrer spams came from all over the world. The spamvertised domain is registered with Moniker, using their "Privacy Services" to hide the owner's identity.
But they made another mistake: On the main site, sexchocolates.info, they had Google Ads - with their ID in it, of course (for the record: pub-1940530000905267). I'm sure Google's abuse departement will love this.
Over the course of 7.5 hours, we received a total of 754 of these referrer spams - all the same, all broken. I'm not going to waste my time with Moniker, but The Planet (where the site is hosted) may be worth a try. Also at least one of the IPs where the referrer spams came from seems to be a virtual server in Germany - the owners might be interested in this. Other IPs looked more like hijacked PCs on DSL.
