Is ppt.cc Safe?

Since several days, the ***** blacklist is being hit by about one email per second! trying to relay chinese emails to ***** instant messenger recipients advertizing this single URI: http://ppt.cc/vSzzf The abuse contact of the hoster of this shortening service is being bombarded by automated complaints summarizing the issue all 10 minutes but does not seem to bother to remove the advertized sites. Target if this redirecting are variuos marvel comic gaming sites, most probably related to ***** which is also being advertized by the same botnet at about half the hitrate of this one. Wow, look at: https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/ppt.cc#comment-82291153 That was reported nearly two years ago and the operator still has not managed to remove that link. I suppose this redirection service is being run without abuse desk.

ppt.cc - This domain or a related subdomain was detected as a confirmed phishing site in December 2011. It was listed at ***** where you can search for it for more details. Beware of links that look like a bank, but actually send you to a different site. Here are some other examples - ***** is actually the site ***** - nothing to do with Paypal ***** is actually ***** and nothing to do with Paypal direct-certs.bankofamerica.com.IDSTKOI.COM/direct/certupdate/ is actually IDSTKOI.COM and nothing to do with Bank of America ***** is actually ***** and nothing to do with Bank of America Phish sites may later be cleaned up and made safe again, but owners need to improve their security to prevent reinfection.

The domain ppt.cc, registered through DYNADOT, LLC is listed on at least two SPAM blacklists as of today. This does not necessarily indicate that they are guilty of sending SPAM, merely that the server that their IP address is associated to was confirmed by at least 2 sources to be a gateway for SPAM. This leads us to recommend caution on this server as it is possible that if it is compromised for SPAM, other data could be compromised.
