I did a spot check of a recent attack. The email address was
jabradb...@kanawhascales.com and it got signed up to 12 lists during May 17
and 18. Amazingly, whoever is on the other end of that address clicked to
confirm every one of those confirmation messages. All confirmation clicks
appear to come from a netblock owned by Barracuda Networks... Hmm...

Each signup request came from a different IP address. 5 were on CBL (as of
right now) and 7 were not. In case anyone is interested, I also checked
them against MinFraud from Maxmind. Of the 7 CBL did not detect, it said 5
of them were high risk of being fraudulent source. Between the two, only 2
would get through.

If anyone is interested, these are the IPs used for the signup form
submission:

 107.184.168.161 - CBL, MF
 67.208.149.17 - CBL, MF "low"
 116.212.155.5 -
 73.4.8.181 - MF
 76.74.237.61 - CBL, MF
 96.245.176.53 - MF
 50.196.42.201 - MF
 32.213.237.56 -
 50.192.254.21 - MF
 76.74.237.61 - CBL, MF
 74.196.162.37 - MF
 76.74.237.61 - CBL, MF

I am definitely going to start checking CBL and MinFraud for these forms.
Thanks for the tip.

Are these addresses in a larger pool, like a Nigerian coffee shop?

Doesn't seem like it. I spot checked a couple and they look like ISPs in
the states.

We do have CAPTCHA available. I think it is time to start pushing it on the
customers a little harder...
