Remove cloud-news.ionos.com #2124

Closed sebastiande closed 2 years ago

Hi,

I got a mail from IONOS Cloud (to which I have actively subscribed), but I can not really view it cause the images are blocked cause cloud-news.ionos.com is on this blocklist.

Can you remove it? I looked and you should only get something from this URL if you have actively subscribed.

Thanks, Sebastian

Hi Sebastian @sebastiande.

Let's check!

$ dig cloud-news.ionos.com all                                                                          

cloud-news.ionos.com.   86400   IN  CNAME   go.pardot.com.
go.pardot.com.      3945    IN  CNAME   pi.pardot.com.
pi.pardot.com.      294 IN  CNAME   pi-ue1.pardot.com.
pi-ue1.pardot.com.  28  IN  CNAME   pi-ue1-public-lb-f0209c6950285322.elb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.
pi-ue1-public-lb-f0209c6950285322.elb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. 54 IN A 18.208.125.13
pi-ue1-public-lb-f0209c6950285322.elb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. 54 IN A 34.237.219.119
pi-ue1-public-lb-f0209c6950285322.elb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. 54 IN A 52.54.96.194
pi-ue1-public-lb-f0209c6950285322.elb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. 54 IN A 3.215.172.219
pi-ue1-public-lb-f0209c6950285322.elb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. 54 IN A 3.92.120.28

So it appears that cloud-news.ionos.com is a CNAME record that fronts for go.pardot.com and other pardot.com domains. Those are, in any event, also blocked because pardot.com is bad news. Three of our upstream curators list quite a few pardot.com domains.

You could report this to IONOS Clout, and ask them to stop the shenanigans.

Closing.
