Blablablaoldtraff.in is a site that may be used to install or coordinate communications with Trojans or other threats. Although Blablablaoldtraff.in's traffic peaked in late April, Blablablaoldtraff.in continues to be open and may harm your PC, even if you don't interact with Blablablaoldtraff.in after it opens. PC users should take any necessary actions to protect themselves from this site, including using anti-malware products to remove software that forces their browsers to load Blablablaoldtraff.in automatically.

Blablablaoldtraff.in and the Old Explorer.exe Hijacking

Although most PC users think of corrupted websites in terms of negative advertisements and browser-hijacking toolbars, sites like Blablablaoldtraff.in also may be utilized in other, less visible ways. Malware experts saw one of the most common of these stealth-based techniques used in conjunction with Blablablaoldtraff.in in May and June of this year. Current estimates of Blablablaoldtraff.in's (most likely non-consensual) Web traffic also points to spring and summer of 2015 being its high point of threatening activity, although Blablablaoldtraff.in has been registered since late 2014.

So far, attacks involving Blablablaoldtraff.in may utilize a traditional subversion of the Windows explorer.exe file or Windows Explorer. While the ordinary uses of this program may involve browsing files and folders, third parties also may use explorer.exe processes for contacting their website servers. The associated contact may be for any of the following purposes:

  • Blablablaoldtraff.in may download threatening software automatically to your PC.
  • Blablablaoldtraff.in may generate fraudulent pop-ups or other formats of in-browser attacks.
  • Blablablaoldtraff.in may receive uploaded data that's stolen from your PC by spyware.

In cases of Blablablaoldtraff.in's associated threats being poorly concealed, you may be able to identify contact with Blablablaoldtraff.in by noting discrepancies in your Web history or your open processes (which may be seen in Task Manager). Excessive browser processes or unusually high memory usage spikes are two of the obvious signs of threats that could be contacting Blablablaoldtraff.in. However, there are no guarantees of threatening software displaying any symptoms during its communications with Blablablaoldtraff.in (or any other, similarly toxic sites).

Steering Your Personal Traffic Away from Blablablaoldtraff.in

While malware researchers continue to investigate the Blablablaoldtraff.in campaign and the threat associated with Blablablaoldtraff.in, PC users should continue to protect their systems from this site and other Web-based threats. When used wisely, such as blocking scripts for untrusted sites, browser security features can block much of the threatening content, a website like Blablablaoldtraff.in could load automatically. However, a browser redirect to Blablablaoldtraff.in should be distinguished separately from threats contacting Blablablaoldtraff.in with Windows Explorer, which is an activity that may be difficult to detect without any form of live anti-malware protection.

Standard anti-malware suites ordinarily include features meant to block unauthorized contact with a website, and especially with threatening ones like Blablablaoldtraff.in. Some PC security companies have begun classifying Blablablaoldtraff.in appropriately, but the recent date of its campaign means that not all companies have yet to categorize Blablablaoldtraff.in as being threatening. For now, updating your security software regularly is the most important advice malware experts can provide.
