Investigation revealed that the fake resource was registered on Shavandu Kirlin (Shawanda Kirlin) in Bali, Indonesia. Representatives of the organization believe that the name is fictional. Brian Spector, CEO of CertiVox have the following comments on it.

“Fake domains are very common, one of the main methods of delivering malware payloads.

If an organisation discovers a fake website being used in an inappropriate manner, the process to rectify it can have enormous time and cost outlay.”[/su_note]
