While searching for potentially bogus key
generators (or
keygens) for our Malwarebytes products, we encountered a supposed tool for Kaspersky Anti-Virus. The URL is below:
kasperskykeygen[DOT]org
We firmly discourage anyone with a curious or rebellious streak to visit this site, because not only does it redirect visitors to random destination sites, sometimes based on their IP, it may redirect them to places they don’t want to visit. At all.
From the time we spotted and kept our eyes on the .org site, we’ve seen it resolve to destinations that are sometimes legitimate (such as random pages from Kaspersky’s websites), sometimes questionable (such as a site offering the chance for you, dear Reader, to become a millionaire), and sometimes outright hilarious or scammy.
In this post, we’re going to touch on the hilarious and scammy.
