Love that URL in part 2. Freakin' "0xc8.0x2b.0x50.0x74"? You'd think that anyone dumb enough to just click on URLs in these "bank" emails has already been stripped to the bone by sharks, but a) it doesn't kill them off, and 2) There's One Born Every Minute. I guess the spammers and the scammers will never run out of "soft targets".
Just for fun:

This makes me feel massively stupid, but I must ask: How do you get from the above info to "default install of RHEL that got cracked"
Thanks,
Dave

Sorry, Dave - didn't mean to make you feel stupid. There's nothing in the above to indicate it, but if you go to the IP/URL (i.e., http://200.43.80.116), it shows the default RHEL "Welcome" banner. [clickety-click] Um, it used to, that is. Perhaps the owner has caught on that he was being used as a mule.

D'oh! And everything is so obvious in the rear-view mirror.
Actually, I have never gotten the RHEL "Welcome" banner, although I seen all too many default windoze IIS installations over the years. Between the lower number of RHEL installations and the higher clue level of Linux user and admin types, I don't generally expect that sort of thing on the open net, hence my failure to look for the (now) obvious.
Perhaps their ISP got wind of their output and did something? Never happens...
