Unregistered domain heiiehdsx.com in my referrer logs

121 Views Asked by At

Lately, the unregistered (available) domain heiiehdsx.com has been showing up in my HTTP referrer logs. It comes from a variety of IP addresses (none very similar). When I Google the domain, the only results are reports of it appearing in other server logs as well.

Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

Looks like a spoofed header.

Most HTTP headers can be very easily spoofed.

FireFox even has an add-in for modifying headers.

Chances these are from a bot/spammer that is looking for vulnerable targets.

This is referer spam. Bad guys trying to provoke you to visit their websites.
