Some recent B2B spam from the Data Champions/Sloan Marketing spam group is hosted at softlayer.com and bodhost.com. Data Champions group uses a seemingly endless number of throwaway domains and spam servers to deliver their spam which peddles email addresses.
Spam hosting at softlayer.com includes a new Data Champions’ spam-server domain which they’ve named foxwebhosting.biz (sounds like a real company, doesn’t it?). It has sent spam from 173.193.80.57 and 173.193.80.61 on softlayer.com, using return addresses like tony.white@aboutwebinars.com, nancy.brown@aboutwebinars.com, and melissa.hyde@paper2green.com. The spams may contain links to http://173.193.80.48/ (sambizsolution.info), which is another recently registered spam domain hosted at softlayer.com.
Sometimes, email from so-called “Melissa Hyde” is signed as “Marketing Manager, Paper2Green, Inc,” (paper2green.com or initiateventure.mfbiz.com) but some email from “her” is signed as “Online Marketing Manager at Specific Lists.” Two different New York City drop addresses and phone numbers are used.
Spam hosting at bodhost.com and nearby IP data ranges includes a number of Data Champions’ spam servers, such as:
