Zangcodec? Am I the only one who thinks it sounds like ZANGOdec?

Perhaps the company we all love to hate is connected to the codec scammers. Or the codec scammers needed a new name. Unfortunately, it's probably the latter. Where is their IP?

The IP for zangcodec.net is 64.28.184.178. Domain is registered, of course, by Estdomains.

You can find all of that data by doing a Whois on the domain name or IP address.

Okay, here's what I've found out: It is on the same IP as GameCodec. It (the IP) has been blacklisted by Spamhaus since June. For the WHOIS record, go to http://whois.domaintools.com/64....m/ 64.28.184.178.
(P.S. how do I make links here?)

Well the Estdomain bit is no surprise and the fact that the same background image is used for nearly all fake codecs dont surprise either.
