Filed in: Malaysia, Web — January 26th, 2006

URLTrends.com banned access from Malaysia?

urltrends ban

When I tried to get the latest URLTrends report, I got the following message:

You have been permanently banned from our site.
Reason: Too many fraudulent users from your region.

Another website banning Malaysia IP network blocks? Malaysians, what have you done?

    Impressive tracking Joel, I would suggest to change the wordings during this transaction period..

    Saying that ‘You have been permanently banned from our site’ is rather straight forward and could create confusions with something you never intended.

    Cheers.

    Quite sad to see that Singapore also happens to be on that list.. :-( So our Malaysian brothers (and sisters) can take heart that we are with them ;-)

    Duh, actually, its just these Malaysian’s wannabe hackers trying to prove themselves being good in the net. Malaysians has a very bad record on the net. Last time, DalNet banned Malaysian IPs, lots of sites have been doing this for the past few years. I mean, cmon you guys. You get to learn some new hacking skills from someone and use it undoubtedly. What a noob. These guys even think that masking will keep them away and that is their protection measures. DUH! IP masking is a one-eye game for cyber-police.
    As to answer Bee’s post: “Tmnet slow like **** still can DDOS? The overseas ppl will laugh us…” Well, its TMNet who is slow, not the server which is attacking. No good hacker will use a Malaysian connected server to launch a DDOS attack. They use powerful mainframes remotely located in US, UK, etc which use T3 connections. They launch it from here but of course, its the server who does the job. So you cant say that slow connections cant DDOS.
    If you use the server here (I wont tell where I work :P ), this company (Malaysian DUH) has a supercomputer so powerful that it can easily attack any mainframe. Again, its located remotely in *ehem* wont tell :P and connection there is satellite. Crazy stuff in other words. So, if lets say I launch an attack from here, even if the server is located in a remote area, it will log my IP, even my MAC address -.-” so not only they know from where I launched the attack, they also know from which computer I did it.
