For full details of the evidence see below.

In summary:

YAHOO! is my main email service and lists unknown devices that login as a security precaution. They says that my ISP may appear in my list of unknown devices. my ISP is the company "Virgin Enterprises Limited" as the registered owner of http://www.virginmedia.com/. So I would expect a virginmedia.com URL which is not what I get.

Unfortunately the unkown server regularly logging in is Virginm.net, not virginmedia.com.

If I browse to Virginm.net it is listed as an attack site by both Firefox and Google Chrome.

It is not listed as being registered to: "Virgin Enterprises Limited, London" but to: "VIRGIN MEDIA BUSINESS, CARDIFF" the registrars are different too.

I would like to confirm if Virgin Media Enterprise are related to VIRGIN MEDIA BUSINESS or not.

If virginm.net is owned by Virgin Enterprises Limited why is it being listed as an attack site and can Firefox and "Virgin Enterprises Limited" worke together to resolve the issue.

If it is not a Virgin Enterprises Limited site please can someone tell me how it got into the chain between my ISP and my web mail provider As that is even more worrying I have asked "Virgin Enterprises Limited" to sort that out if it is the case.

It is an attack Site with a fixed IP address and clearly registered URL. If it is a known Attack site, why has it not been shut down by the poilice already?

Full details of the evidence:

I have evidence below that suggests the server mentioned cpc124328-ayle4-2-0-cust48.15-2.cable.virginm.net may have been infected by malware, Firefox lists the site mentioned as an Attack Site. Follow the explanations below for more details. Please investigate whether you actually have a nasty infection or have been hacked in some way. When you are there are no middle attacks sure you are clean can you get your site removed from Firefox's black list.

I have looked on other black lists and the site does not seem to be listed on the first three I looked at. So this may be a false positive on Firefox's part but it is always worth checking.

The reason for this query was curiosity on my part. is this site Virgin Media or not?

I have had several successful log ins to my YAHOO! accounts from an unknown address to me and thought some may be hacking me. YAHOO! say this may be from my ISP, Virgin Media:

==============================================================================================

Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom Mon, Jun 12, 2017 10:11 AM BST

IP: 81.99.67.49

==============================================================================================

I have changed my passwords several times it has not stopped these log-ins. So I suspected even more that this must be Virgin Media.

It is always the same IP address. Pinging /a gives the following result.

ping /a 81.99.67.49 Pinging cpc124328-ayle4-2-0-cust48.15-2.cable.virginm.net [81.99.67.49]

The name is also indicative of a Virgin Media site. However, browsing in Firefox to http://cpc124328-ayle4-2-0-cust48.15-2.cable.virginm.net, http://cable.virginm.net or http://virginm.net gives

==============================================================================================

Reported Attack Page!

This web page at virginm.net has been reported as an attack page and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

Attack pages try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.

Some attack pages intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.

==============================================================================================

Not Server Error or Page not found but Firefox's black list response to a known Attack Site.

Distinctly worrying as I would not want a hacker adding spyware to my or anyone else's emails using Virgin Media's ISP service.

Looking up the registered owner of the server name through http://whois.domaintools.com/virginm.net confirms absolutely that the registered owner of virginm.net is: VIRGIN MEDIA BUSINESS Domain Name: VIRGINM.NET Registry Domain ID: 859644475_DOMAIN_NET-VRSN Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.enom.com Registrar URL: www.enom.com Updated Date: 2017-02-06T01:17:40.00Z Creation Date: 2007-03-07T12:22:23.00Z Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2018-03-07T12:22:00.00Z Registrar: ENOM, INC.

Thus Confirming that "Virgin Media Business" is the refistered owner. "VIRGIN MEDIA BUSINESS" does not sound like a real Ltd/PLC business name but more like a sole trader

What does your ISP have to say regarding this?

more options

Ny ISP has not got back to me yet. I will let you if/when they do.

more options

My ISP has got back to me apparently it is my own IPv4 address. Although I am confused as why I get login's from Aylesbury and Northern Ireland.

I have 3 laptops and 3 internet connected desktops on my network. Two of the desktops are usually turned off.

Apache is not installed on any of them and IIS & IIS Express is installed on two of the desktops but only one is usually turned on.

I have done a complete Kaspersky virus scan of both machines that have IIS & IIS Express installed and they have reported both machine as squeeky clean (at least according to Kaspersky).

Can you reassess if my machine is an attack site and let me know the result?

Have you any other advice on how to make my system cleaner and more importantly how to keep it clean.

Thanks for your help so far.

Best wishes Robin Murison
