jman,

my question was more about the ability to register the website with the people who make websites = IP addresses. domain name servers or whatever. ya know what im sayin?

warik,

well i agree that there are "quite a number of differences," but there are a shitload of similarities as well, which would lead me to be suspicious before i was trusting.

that being said, i think your research is solid and the page is legit.

Ok Hopefully I can help you all here.
Firstly, if you ever get a bank email, um CALL THE BANK, I once was called because someone "stole my credit card" I didnt believe it I ran them through a ringer, sure enough my CC was stolen (number anyway) but you always verify.


Your computer Questions:
If you own or register a domain name like www.youradumbass.com you have control over this. You tell the DNS holders (usually the registrar for smaller stuff) where you want people to go (the IP) and they post it and the worlds DNS servers now say "Ok www.youradumbass.com goes to 127.0.0.1) The only way to change where this points is to change it on the DNS server where its hosted. Or to take over the DNS hosting for the site which would mean you have to be a registrar (which is almost impossible to be)

Here read this DNS explained

Simply a hacker can't take over the case domain name easily.

So Whats going on here?

info on the trojan

Edit to add this: you can also check the email it self and where it came, verify the , all email has a route it goes through make sure it came from a chase server. It's in the email properties
