The company by the looks of it sells DSL in Germany.

You obviously clicked on the right hand side of the image which goes to a login page I presume for resellers or something.

I would imagine it was a mail harvester. How many of your pages did it sniff?

gosh, that was quick.

It only took my default index page.

I can't get any type of screen from it at [boitho.com,...] goes straight to the browser popup login - not even a login screen. You're doing something right.

I'll flag it as a mail bot and give it something to chew on... check out [sourceforge.net...] - <-- my pet project which makes it easy to see these guys when they come visiting.

Hi

I am chief programmer at boitho.com, and I am sorry for any inconvenient.

Boitho is a Norwegian search engine, which will be launched in a couple off weeks.

We did password protect the page sow we can test our production servers, without everyone having access. But I see now that it is rude. I will make a page at boitho.com that explains this.

The IP 80.202.212.14 is an ADSL line in Norway.

Regards,

Runarb

Hi Runarb

Good luck with the new venture. I'm happy to be visited - but I get curious about who my visitors are that's all.
