Expired domains taken over by Japanese sites
DON'T CLICK THE LINKS BELOW UNLESS YOU ARE AN IT EXPERT! Probably safe but read on first!
We're looking to go away to The Broads later in the year, and considering hiring a motor cruiser. We also thought about taking the caravan, staying in a CL and hiring a day boat We found a place called Gale Riverside, which has a site, and also a link to "boat hire". Gale Riverside site is here: http://www.galeriverside.co.uk The link to boat hire is for www.maffett-cruisers.com, but on clicking the link, comes up with Japanese, and looks to be advertising herbal supplements! A quick Google suggests that Japanese companies buy up expired domains, as they have existing links (as above). My worry is that the latter site may carry a virus... Anyone know any way to check if it's clean or not?
