Microsoft should shutdown these domains. I see that this domain was setup recently 21-Jun-2020. A similar domain with CN TLD is there.

This could have been setup to do target a large private project and steal the source code.


I am wondering how they will try to compensate when the browser is actively blocking referrer information. In that case the data will be polluted like the website has received more unique visitors, but it is not the actual.

In earlier times, this kind of tracking was the norm. Big Analytic companies tried to distill this information and add value to the existing data to make sense. So the cookies and fingerprinting were added to distill that data.


Given you want discount internal site traffic from being unique, you could add a query param to URLs as the user navigates.


In firefox, I get a partial page.

In console, there is a warning as "no wasm support" -- easy.js


This means that your Firefox unfortunately does not support WebAssembly (Wasm), which is necessary for these games. Actual versions of major web browsers support WebAssembly by default.


It works perfectly fine in my Firefox (68.0.2, currently latest stable). Perhaps GP is running ESR or some other old version.

The heart of the problem, according to several Internet engineers, is that many large Internet service providers have not set up their networks to make sure that traffic leaving their networks is actually coming from their own users.

Why the ISP networks are not doing their job? Isn't is very simple to filter?


It's not massively hard, but it's also not trivial either, and most ISPs have a "If it's not broke, don't fix it" policy for fundamental things on their network.



I am getting "Sorry, this page is temporarily unavailable while we perform necessary server maintenance." Good move.


I'm not sure if you're saying you are getting that error from the link I shared or one of the sublinks or even trying the proof of concept but in any event here is a mirror of the main link just in case: http://pastebin.com/Yyrt2qtp


It's the URLs in the script on the susceptible sites that are showing that error if you access them yourself.

E.g. http://assetform.itbusinessedge.com/acl/accountController.js...



Due to HN effect, the Server seems to be down. I am getting CPU limit reached error.
