New Record: Hotlink Alarm Detects 284 Hotlinks To A Customer's Website, Exposes Malware Site
Saturday, February 9, 2008
Hi Friends,
HotlinkALARM.com has been in business only three weeks. Our customers are reporting notable successes with the product rooting out hotlinkers -- but a case reported February 7 set a new record.
That's why we've made a Case Study based on the customer's experience: Case Study HA-3-08. The case study is available in PDF form from this website (or see the link below):
Visit the Hotlink Alarm Case Study HA-3-08 website:
We've also made a video of the Case Study:
HotlinkALARM not only revealed that the customer had a serious hotlinking problem, it also revealed the the customer's logo and website graphics were being hotlinked on a website that distributed malware.
The customer in this HotlinkALARM Case Study is feeling more secure today. :-)
But he was less than chipper on Thursday. He said he was stunned to learn the extent of his hotlinking problem -- and you could have fried an egg on his forehead when he learned that the key digital assets of his business -- the company's logo and sales graphics -- were being displayed by a hotlinker on a malware page.
So, on Thursday, HotlinkALARM set a new record for the number of hotlinks detected from a single website: a whopping 284.
Here's a link to the PDF of Hotlink Alarm Case Study HA-3-08:
