    Exclamation OK, I'm scared. Or paranoid. Is this a cookie grabber?

    Somebody posted a game link on the AC, and I clicked on it. The page that came up was blank and wouldn't load, and I thought it was my Flash, so I went to site settings. Then I saw my cookies, and it said there were three in use. The first two were neopets.com but the third one I didn't recognize? It was echo.intergient.com

    I have no idea what this site is? I couldn't find any results on Google and when I checked urlquery.net, I got this;



    WTF is this? I removed and blocked the cookie.
    Still, I'm disturbed by the different IPs listed along with... bank login information? account info? WTF is all this?!

    Like the site's IP is a Mozilla user in another state, and I'm so fucking sketched out right now. T_T

    Maybe CGs don't exist anymore and maybe it's just a coincidence that I noticed the cookie right when I clicked a link on the boards. But it says Amazon...? And I haven't visited the Amazon site...

    Ah I saw Amazon too but didn't exactly trust it, because I have no idea what I'm looking at... all the other info on that page scared me. @__@ Bank account links and different IPs.

    Also I have never been to Amazon's site or used Amazon.
    Not on this computer/browser.

    it could be an advertisement that loads prior to the game being loaded.

    The different URLs I believe are different urls where that ASN has gone to, which makes sense.

    People shopping on amazon or are on a website that has an ad-tracker for amazon on it also would go to ebay, chase bank, etc.
