Some good deeds

I will tell you about VKontakte and spammers. The theme is eternal :)

Once, the link came to me: vktools.site50.net . They propose to log in on their website in order to “be able to view closed pages”. Page - one to one with the authorization page vkontakte.ru . My mood was not very good (Monday was a hard day), and I decided to deal with them ... The hosting provider of this site didn’t need to calculate a lot of mind, went through site50.net, as it turned out, this is a free hosting domain zone www.000webhost.com .

I wrote them on the post of abuzu:
Hi! I from Russia, and I know english not very well :)
This site vktools.site50.net is collecting logins and passwords of users of big russian social network "Vkontakte" (vkontakte.ru). They say, that if you login to network from this page, there will be new useful functions. Of course, there is fake.

Then, they uses users accounts for spam in this social network.

At HTML view you can see this js code:



This code is simple for hide your warning message:
"This website *may be* insecure!! If you think it is illegal, please".

Dont ignore this message. I know many victims of this fake login-page. Please, close this site.
After 3 hours I was answered:
Hello,
Thanks for letting us know, we have removed this site now
Thank you,
www.000webhost.com

The site was closed :) At this point I did not calm down, I decided to close a couple more similar sites. In Vkontakte groups I found about 10 clones of one group, there they all advertised another fake - the page vktools.awardspace.us . The theme is the same, the legend is the same. I am writing abuzu to their hosters, awardspace.us :) Their answer did not make them wait long:

And this site is also closed.
