[Not really Linux I know, but since we're posting defacements.]

Looks like the Celtic Tiger has moved into the porn industry. From a story
on Wired News ...

http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,35627-2,00.html

... about a guy who got diddled out of $357 by an automatic dialler on a
porn site that rang Chad (the place, not the person) for him. "The company
behind Adultbuffet's dialer appears to be the No Credit Card Network, owned
by Celtline Holdings based in Dublin, Ireland."

Have a look: http://www.nocreditcard.com :)

$ WHOIS nocreditcard.com

CELTLINE Holdings Ltd
18, GOWRIE PARK
GLENAGEARY
DUBLIN,
IR

IR? What's that about? Off we go to celtline.com, and glory be, there's a
link back to nocreditcard.com. The DNS is provided by e-group.org, also
owned by "CELTLINE Holdings" and who seem to provide the dialling software.
And if you take a a trip over there, you'll get a popup on the homepage
telling you:

"For the past few days, several press releases have directly incriminated
our company's method of operation."

Very dodgy. One for a John McCormac investigation maybe? :)
