Suspect ad network leads to PDF exploit

That email address of trafficbuyer@gmail.com is well known. The subdomain traffic.firedogred.com is dual-homed on 207.57.97.233 and 161.58.56.25 (both NTT America, Inc).

The next hop is show.sheathssubtotal.info/rotate?m=3;b=2;c=0;z=406377

sheathssubtotal.info was regisitered on 17th September with the same "trafficbuyer@gmail.com" contact details as firedogred.com.

show.sheathssubtotal.info is dual homed on 140.174.93.100, 161.58.192.228 (both NTT America, Inc).

Yet another hop, this time to content.neighbanner882.info/track/3388081/S_SE?{munged}

neighbanner882.info was created on 7th August 2009, registered to trafficbuyer@gmail.com (again). content.neighbanner882.info is hosted on 69.164.196.55 at some outfit called Linode.

Yet another hop, this time to winckag.com which is currently down but was hosted on 89.149.251.71 (Netdirekt E.k) who are pretty well known for hosting bad sites (but they may well have nuked this one already, and if so.. well done!)
