First of all, what’s an unprotected web directory? It’s one that does not have an “index” file created for it–index.htm, index.html, index.php or some other more rarely used file types. If you try to access a non-password controlled directory that does not have an index file, the system will build a listing of files that are within the directory. If you get that, you can then click on the files and run them with a viewer or player or even download them.

I have to say I have not had this much fun with Google for a while! It’s just plain crazy seeing what people have stashed away in their web sites. (Please, don’t steal copyrighted music–I’m really against that. You can buy it for a buck a song anyway.) I think the absolute most fun you can have with this is to watch the movies you run across. I watched a hilarious British TV commercial, some interesting home videos, and some, well, you know, very interesting other types of videos.

So let’s get to the nitty gritty details. We need to construct a Google search query that searches for and recognizes these system built directory pages. Here’s what one looks like:


The words “Index of /” are common to these pages, and they end up in the “title” of the page. Unfortunately, Google sees the slash is a “stop word” so we cannot search for that. But, the problem is that without the slash there are all sorts of other pages that have the words “Index of” that are regular web pages. So, we need to find something else that is common. Within the page there are the headings of “name,” “last modified,” “size” and “description,” followed by the word “Parent Directory.” The combination of these words in the page body, and the “Index of” in the title should provide a pretty clean search, especially when we use the -inurl operator to exclude regular web pages that might have the same wording in them. (If all this has you confused, please read the Google Tutor Google Search Manual while referencing the sample queries below.)

So, for starters here is a query that will give you a search results page of unprotected directories:

But, this is kind of boring. Too many unknown program files, text files, web pages etc. Let’s narrow it down. You can narrow it down by looking for something in the name of a file in the list, or by the file type, or both.

For example, this query tries to find any types of files about Jennifer Lopez. Within the directories I found music, image and movie files.

Let’s say that we wanted to find any movie files in WMV or AVI format:

Or audio files in WMA or MP3 format:

Or images in JPG or GIF format:


You can get more specific by specifying both the file types and a search word to hopefully find in the name. For example, the following will attempt to find the infamous Paris Hilton video tape:

Or, you can even take a guess at the file name someone might call it:

So there you go. You can combine various search terms and experiment with this. As you’ve seen, this is not an exact science. The directory pages you bring up may have many or even all files which are unrelated to what you are looking for. But, it does make some good hits very often.

I find the most fun searching for movies with an interesting or provocative search term and seeing what comes up. The samples in this article are rather safe and boring, but I’m sure you all have some good ideas of what to try and search for. Do me a favor and post a comment with some interesting queries you’ve had success with, or crazy files that you’ve found (as long as nothing private is given out).

Searching MP3 files using search engine is easy especially when people the knowledge. When people share various ways to search for the MP3 files, our problem solved immediately. Here are the simple guide on how to search for those music that you like. Its depend on what format are you looking for - MP3, MP4, WMA, or even avi files.

How is this working?
Using altered Google, Yahoo, and MSN Search - searching string to find the files. This method will use the search engines to search for unprotected directory of the audio files.

How to: Click on the link below. Change the detail according to your liking. You can change the "wma", "mp3″, "mp4", "ogg" tag to other format if you wish. For the search engines, it works similarly. You just need to change the band/singer or song again.

Google:
“parent directory” mp3 OR wma OR ogg OR wav Band/Singer -html -htm -download -links

Yahoo Search:
parent directory” AND (Band AND Singer) AND (mp3 OR wma OR ogg) AND NOT(”download”) AND NOT(”links”)

MSN Search:
parent directory” AND (Band AND Singer) AND (mp3 OR wma OR ogg) AND NOT(”download”) AND NOT(”links”)

What else can this method do?
You can even search and download so many things other than MP3 using this method. I search and get movies, software, games etc...
Try it, and see if you can get your favorite artist full album.

When scouting around for a life insurance company, there are few things you must think through before closing the contract. The most important service that every insurance company must provide is protection. After all, this is what insurance coverage is about – to protect the insured person and his beneficiaries from financial inconvenience should something untoward such as death happens to the policyholder. Here are the chief points that one should look for when availing of life insurance coverage.

Type of policy benefits
Make sure you read the fine-printed terms that accompany your insurance plan. Find out if your policy benefits are fixed, universal or flexible. Since each policyholder has different needs, choose a plan that allows adjustments to fit your future requirements.

Premium fees
Payment rates vary with different insurance companies. However the common bases in determining the fees for any type of life insurance are age, occupation, health and lifestyle.

More Perks
Most insurance plans come with perks or incentives such as retirement benefits, mutual fund benefits, estate planning and so on. Once again, more stable insurance agencies are the ones that provide additional services along with the existing policies of their clients.

Customer Support
This is one of the most important factors to be considered when buying an insurance policy. Make sure your insurance company will not leave you in midair after you have purchased a policy from them.

Prompt Awarding of Claims
What good is an insurance company if it cannot give the due payment to the beneficiaries at the time when they need it most? Delay in awarding of claims is a big no-no. Verify from your insurance agent if they can deliver the claims to your family at a given time frame.


They're not secrets. The more you know about how insurance works, the more you'll be able to save off your premiums. Follow these simple tips and you'll not only become a more informed consumer, but you'll have everything you need to know to maximise your savings.

1. Get a quote & apply online
Auto insurance coverage may be standard throughout your province, but insurance premiums are another story. Coverage from one company to the next can vary by hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. The only way to make sure you are getting the best base price for your policy is to compare, compare, compare.

2. Make sure all your cars are on the same policy
We offer a "Multi-vehicle discount" for customers who insure more than one car on the same policy. This can bring you savings of up to 10 per cent off both cars.

3. Insure both your car and home with the same company
Again, this will qualify you for a discount called the "Multi-line discount". We offer this savings as an incentive to get your property insurance business too. It's all perfectly legal and it's a great way to get another five per cent off your premiums.

4. Increase your deductibles
In a nutshell, the higher your deductibles, the lower your insurance premiums. Insurance was really meant to cover you for damages you could never afford on your own. If you can afford a $1,000 repair job, then raise your deductibles to $1,000 and pay less for your insurance.

5. Older car? Think about dropping your collision coverage
If your car is getting up there in age, you may want to think about dropping the collision coverage on your policy. You need to think about this one though - it's not always a clear-cut decision. You need to weigh the cost of the collision coverage with the value of your car and your chosen deductibles. For example, if you had a 10-year-old car that was worth about $1,000, and your deductible was $1,000, that collision coverage is not going to be worth a hoot.

6. Drive carefully
Your driving record is one of the most influential factors in determining your insurance rate. Tickets affect your insurance rates for up to three years and accidents stay on your record for at least six! With a bad driving record, you can find yourself paying a lot of extra premium over the years.

7. Drive a "low-risk" car
Insurance rates for cars are based on the previous claims history for that vehicle. The more likely a car is to be stolen or in an accident, the more you pay for insurance. If you are buying a new car, check with the Vehicle Information Centre of Canada or compare quotes to see how your dream-car rates. This may influence your purchase.

8. Don't drive to work
The more you are on the road, the higher your chances of getting in an accident. Insurance rates are higher for people who commute to work. So taking the bus or sharing a ride will not only help you save on parking and gas, but will help lower your insurance premiums.

9. New driver? Take a driver's training course
Licenced drivers who have completed an approved drivers training course in the last 3 years pay lower premiums. Safer drivers pay lower insurance rates.

10. Have an anti-theft device installed in your car
We recognise your car is less likely to be stolen if you have an anti-theft device installed in your vehicle. Check to see if your company offers this "Alarm or anti-theft discount" and consider if the price of the device is worth the added savings over the years. If you already have an approved, factory-installed alarm in your car, we will take this into account when determining your rate.

The Top 10 Most Expensive Keywords are:

Insurance, Loans, Mortgage, Attorney, Credit, Lawyer, Donate, Degree, Hosting, Claim

You’ll notice that these top ten most expensive AdWords keywords deal primarily with financing and industries that manage vast sums of money. The fact that the educational keyword “degree” is one of the top ten most expensive Google keywords, right up with lawyers and credit, reminds us of the growing cost of education. 

The next ten most expensive keywords complete our total list, resulting the top 20 most expensive AdWords keywords:

Conference Call, Trading, Software, Recovery, Transfer, Gas/Electricity, Classes, Rehab, Treatment, Cord Blood 

There you have it – the highest cost keywords. If you are considering entering into one of these industries, be ready to pay high cost per click rates for the top keywords. While some may start treatment facilities for the greater good, be aware that you’ll wind up in one of the most expensive niche groups, and your paid search marketing wallet will suffer from those high CPCs.

The most expensive SEM keywords may be frustrating for those in the industries, but they are the best keywords for Google, who makes 97% of revenue from advertising on Google sites (AdWords, AdSense). In the last four quarters, the biggest player of search engine history brought in $32.2 billion in total advertising revenue.


Google AdSense is a pay-per-click (PPC) program that can give you advertising revenue from each page on your website with a minimal investment in time and no additional resources. AdSense delivers relevant ads that are targeted to the content people find on your site. In many advertising networks and websites, including AdSense, the advertiser is charged for advertising their ad only when a user clicks on their ad. How much they pay (for that click) is called their Cost Per Click or CPC.

Here you will find some simple and effective AdSense tips that will increase your revenue. If you haven't already joined AdSense program, you should sign up first.

1) If you want to maximize your profits, make sure to create more than one website.
However, you don’t want to start off by creating 100 websites. Maintenance for that many sites, at first, would be hectic. While having only one website would be the easiest to maintain, it also increases your chances of being cut out altogether by the latest algorithm update. So, you want to have a few websites up and running. Then if the latest algorithm forces one website out, you still have a few others to generate income from while you work on the affected one.

2) Pick a niche to write about per site.
Creating a site that discusses any topic under the moon may be easier to find the desire to update, but it will make it difficult to create constant traffic, make it hard for the Google search engine to rank your site, and cause trouble generating ads that are on topic.
Also, if you only pick one subject to focus on, you can go more in-depth and gain expertise in that field. This makes your website more profitable for users and yourself.

3) Create a site about something you are already interested in!
This Google Adsense tip only makes sense! Making your site about something that you like makes it more fun in the long-run for you to continue managing your site. If something is less like work, then you are more likely to do it. Constant updates on your site is good for traffic and search engines, which generates clicks on your ads.
However, don’t create a site about something that is not in demand. Just because you like to study rare deep-sea anglerfish doesn’t mean that everyone else does. If you want to maximize your profits, you will need to give information about something that the general public will be researching.

4)Do not put Google Adsense on a brand new site!
When building a new site, wait until you have completed the site, you have built inbound links, and you are getting traffic. A brand new site can leave your ads being off topic and difficult to follow.
Also, if you try to apply to Google Adsense too early when your website is brand new, you will most likely be turned away. Google wants to know that your site has enough traffic so that putting their ads on your page will be profitable to them and you. They don’t waste time on beginner or spammy sites.

5) Do not put images next to your ads!
While many people did this for years and it worked successfully, it now against Google’s policies to do so. This is considered to be ‘encouraging clicks’ which is prohibited. If you do so, you may get more clicks for a bit, but you will quickly be caught and banned from having Adsense on your page. And once you are banned, you cannot get your account back into good standing.

If you haven’t read Google’s Adsense policies, I seriously suggest doing so.

6) Place images in optimal places on your site.
Ads that are higher on the site get clicked more often, which generates more income.

7) If you want to maintain optimal profit, do not put your ads on affiliate sites.
While well-known affiliate sites may get you more clicks than your own brand new site, you cannot depend on these sites to earn a maximum profit. It can be considered as a violation of the rules and regulations of Adsense. Moreover, each of the affiliate sites charges a percentage of your earnings to be able to post on their site. So, work on your own site, promote it to generate traffic, and be patient. Having ads on your own site will be better for you in the long-run.

8) Make sure to update your site on a regular basis.
If you create a site and leave it for a few months, you may find that your traffic has dropped significantly. Therefore, your amount of clicks and pay has dropped as well.
No one wants to visit a site that has grown stagnant and has old information, so get busy generating new information for your readers!

9) Create ads that best complement your site.
The optimal sizes for ads have been researched. They are the 336×280 large rectangle, the 300×250 medium rectangle, and the 160×600 wide skyscraper.
However, don’t simply use these sizes without integrating them into your site well. You want the overall flow of your site to be pleasing to your loyal visitors, so be sure to fit the ads in a way that is visually appealing.

10) Do not stress over the latest google algorithms, or trying to beat the system!
Google constantly updates their algorithms to cut out spammers, and this unfortunately messes up the generated income for some sites. However, there is no way to currently beat this system, so do not stress if your site sees a dramatic drop suddenly. Simply continue to work hard at improving your site and keeping up with the latest Google Adsense Tips. Hopefully, you will see improvement again in your traffic.

These are some tips that should help you a great deal when trying to maximize the profits from your ads. Overall, continue working to improve your websites and don’t stress! Everyone knows that Google owns the world in their own mysterious way, and trying to fight it will only end in multiple visits to a psychiatrist. So, be happy and enjoy Google’s business offering to the world!

The other day my friend and I we talk about Insurance. His idea of guide to life insurance. I am not 100% agree to his idea.   

His simple guide to life insurance.

Life insurance is an insurance. It is used to protect against of the risk of lost of income. For example, let's say A is the bread winner of the family. If something happen to A ( for example die in an accident), you will not longer have income from A. The family still need to survive. Life insurance can provide/replace some portion of the income so that the family still can survive. In some circumstances, A will suffer some form of disability and can no longer work, life insurance provide some compensation to help the family to survive too. Please noted that in Malaysia, the protection against disability is limited to what is specified in the policy. In advanced countries like USA, they have disability insurance that pays as long as you cannot work regardless whatever the cause is. This kind of disability insurance does not exist in Malaysia. In summary, life insurance is used to protect against the loss of income and disability.

So, does life insurance makes sense to you??

1) Do you have dependents?
A) If you are single and have no dependent, it really does not make much sense to buy life insurance.

B) If something happen to me, I would like to leave something for my parents. Is your parent depend on your income for survival?? If answer is no, why buy life insurance?? If you want leave something for your
parent, why not give your parent the money now?? Save the money from insurance premium and give to your parent now every month.

2) If you are home maker and makes no income, why buy life insurance??

3) If you are married and your family depend on you to provide income, in general, you should buy life insurance.

4) However, it may NOT be worthwhile for you to buy life insurance if you have a lot of savings (more than 200K). In general, life insurance in Malaysia get very expensive for payment greater than 200K.

All my comments does not necessary apply to medical insurance. Do your own research to find out what is right for you. If your insurance agent cannot explain to you why you should buy life insurance, why are you buying??

The very complicated and complex thing about insurance in Malaysia is that we do not have pure term life insurance. All insurance product in Malaysia is normally a combination of life insurance, disability protection and medical protection. In most cases, unless your insurance agent is good and you do a lot of research, you really have little or no idea what you are buying. I am not qualify to tell you what you should buy and how much to buy in each circumstances.

The bottom line is you need to know is

1) what are you protect against??
Life, disability, medical

2) What is the likelihood for each risk at your age??

3) What is the cost for each option??

4) What is the maximum pay and deductible in each situation??

Insurance is used to protect against the situation where you do not have enough resources to cover. You need to buy just enough so that when the bad thing happen, you are covered. Buy, you should NOT buy so much that it costs too much to you.


PADA 5 JULAI 2013, Bank Negara menguatkuasakan peraturan baru menghadkan: (i) pinjaman peribadi setakat 10 tahun maksimum (dahulu 25 tahun); pinjaman hartanah dan rumah 35 tahun (dahulu 45 tahun), dan (iii) tidak membenarkan lagi pinjaman pra kelayakan.

Alasan yang diberikan Bank Negara adalah untuk menangani kenaikan hutang isirumah yang meningkat dari RM465.2 bilion pada tahun 2008 kepada RM754.6 bilion pada pertengahan tahun 2013. Dengan harga rumah mahal, harga kereta mahal dan kos hidup yang mahal, rakyat Malaysia adalah ‘juara’ dalam membuat hutang, iaitu hutang isirumah kita adalah 140% berbanding dengan pendapatan, Singapura 105%, Amerika 123%, Korea 101%, Thailand 53% dan Indonesia 38%. 

Akibat hutang yang banyak ini, kadar individu yang diisytiharkan bankrap pada tahun 2012 ialah 19,575 ataupun 53 orang sehari dalam setahun, di mana 50% adalah dari golongan berumur 25-44 tahun. Jumlah individu yang bankrap dari tahun 2007 sehingga 2013 adalah 245,000 orang yang mana faktor utamanya adalah disebabkan oleh kegagalan untuk membayar pinjaman (hutang). 

Persoalannya, kenapa hutang rakyat kita tinggi? Menurut data Bank Negara, 64% pinjaman yang dibuat oleh isirumah adalah dari pinjaman perumahan dan kereta sahaja. Pinjaman peribadi jatuh ke tempat ketiga paling banyak. 

Pertanyaannya, mengapa harga rumah mahal sehingga boleh membuatkan kita terhutang sampai ke tua? Bila rakyat bertanya hal ini, jawapan pemaju mudah sahaja, iaitu kerana barang kos pembinaan seperti simen, pasir, batu-bata dan seribu satu macam perkara lain lagi naik harga. Bagi ahli ekonomi, mereka menjawab kerana permintaan melebihi penawaran. 

Saya pun hairan kenapa kerajaan tidak boleh mengawal harga rumah ini? Apakah payahnya sangat untuk kerajaan menetapkan harga rumah mampu milik kepada rakyat, iaitu rumah yang boleh dibeli oleh golongan berpendapatan sederhana yang harganya dalam lingkungan RM100-RM200 ribu sahaja.

Ini kerana saya lihat harga rumah yang ditetapkan oleh pemaju sekarang sudah di luar dari istilah rumah mampu bilik. Bayangkan bagaimana seorang yang baru bekerja boleh memiliki rumah jika harga rumah dua tingkat di Bandar Baru Bangi dengan keluasan 20”X70” pun sudah mencecah RM500 ribu. Bayangkan harga rumah kondominium di Bangsar yang seluas 2,000 kaki (185 meter) persegi dijual pada harga RM2.4 juta seunit dan harga sebuah rumah semi-D di Sri Hartamas berharga RM1.5 juta. Siapakah yang mampu membelinya?

Bayangkan pula kalau ada hutang kereta, anak kecil 3 orang, kena beli lampin anak, bayar orang gaji, kad kredit, pakaian, persekolahan, minyak kereta dll, maka apa lagi yang tinggal? Bagaimana mungkin mampu untuk membeli rumah semahal ini jika pendapatan suami isteri hanya RM5 ribu sebulan sahaja dengan bayaran yang ditetapkan dalam masa 35 tahun. Jika suami isteri berpandapatan RM5 ribu pun tidak mampu, bagaimana bagi mereka yang berpendapatan lebih rendah dari itu?

Saya cukup risau dengan harga rumah yang tidak terkawal dan over priced ini. Sekarang ini pun dengan gaji RM6 ribu sebulan, belum tentu dapat membeli rumah yang berharga RM400 ribu. Andaikan si pembeli meminjam RM400 ribu sahaja daripada bank dengan purata kadar faedah enam peratus setahun, peminjam perlu membayar ansuran bulanan sebanyak kira-kira RM2,400 selama 30 tahun. Ini bermakna peminjam yang membeli rumah teres pada usia 30 tahun hanya akan habis membayar hutang pada usia 60 tahun. Persoalannya, berapa ramaikah rakyat kita memiliki pendapatan RM6 ribu sebulan sekarang?

Apabila melihat kepada masalah harga rumah yang semakin ‘tidak masuk akal’ sekarang ini, saya terpanggil untuk membincangkan masalah ini. Saya sedih melihat nasib rakyat yang terhimpit dengan masalah ini kerana biarpun sudah berumur 45 tahun dan berkelulusan universiti, sehingga sekarang pun masih ‘menyewa’ lagi. Itu belum lagi mengambil kira mereka yang bekerja di bawah dari tahap gaji pegawai yang berkelulusan universiti.

Atas masalah harga rumah yang tinggi ini, saya mencadangkan kepada pihak kerajaan supaya mengambil tindakan berikut:

i. Turunkan kadar faedah daripada 4% kepada 2% sahaja untuk pinjaman kerajaan dan dari 6% kepada 3% sahaja untuk pinjaman bank bagi rumah pertama. Ambil perhatian kerajaan Kelantan tidak mengenakan faedah kepada kakitangan awamnya dan Public Bank hanya mengenakan kadar faedah sebanyak 1% sahaja kepada kakitangannya.

ii. Naikkan elaun perumahan untuk kumpulan sokongan dari RM180 sebulan kepada jumlah yang lebih wajar. Di Kuala Lumpur, sewa sebilik pun sudah RM250-500 sebulan. Bagi pekerja swasta pula, kerajaan perlu mewajibkan syarikat membayar elaun perumahan kepada pekerjanya campur dengan gaji minimum yang baru diwajibkan.

iii. Kerajaan sendiri membina lebih banyak rumah sesuai dengan permintaan dengan tidak lagi menyerahkannya kepada pemaju swasta. Sekiranya syarikat swasta mahu juga membinanya, kerajaan perlu meminda akta supaya segala pembangunan perumahan yang dilakukan oleh syarikat swasta hendaklah mengikut syarat-syarat ketat harga yang ditetapkan kerajaan supaya harga menjadi terkawal dan tidak lagi melampau.

iv. Menteri Perumahan yang baru sepatutnya merangka mekanisme untuk menurunkan harga rumah sama ada dengan mengurangkan kos pembinaan dan lain-lain tindakan yang wajar.

v. Jika harga rumah mahal disebabkan oleh harga tanah, maka kerajaan hendaklah menetapkan harga siling bagi setiap kaki persegi tanah kerana tanah adalah milik kerajaan yang boleh dikawal.

vi. Jika harga tanah di bandar mahal untuk membangunkan perumahan, maka binalah apartment ‘layak duduk’ yang sesuai untuk golongan berpendapatan rendah. Mereka tetap perlu disediakan rumah kerana itu adalah keperluan asas manusia yang perlu disediakan oleh kerajaan untuk rakyatnya. Jangan pula cari alasan ‘kalau ayam mahal jangan makan ayam’, atau ‘kalau rumah di bandar, mahal sewa atau belilah rumah di kampung’. 

Saya yakin jika kerajaan boleh membuat pelbagai program seperti Hari Sukan, Hari Wanita dan Hari Belia dengan kos yang berjuta, tentunya tidak sukar bagi kerajaan untuk mengambil langkah lebih adil bagi menyediakan perumahan kepada rakyat ini.

Mengingatkan tentang hutang rakyat kita yang terlalu tinggi dan ramai lagi dari kalangan mereka yang masih belum mempunyai rumah sendiri, hati saya mengeluh. Semoganya tidak lagi selepas ini.

Ini kisahnya... kepada pemilik website yang melanggan domain *.co.cc yang tiba-tiba mendapati website milik anda tidak dibuka lagi. Ini jawapan yang telah dikemukakan oleh google. Salah satut website saya yang menggunakan domain co.cc tidak boleh diaksess begitu lama. Untuk membolehkannya diekess semula oleh pengguna internet, kenalah ubah setting.

Google has blocked all .co.cc websites from its search results because the domain has been found to be too "spammy." The .cc top-level domain, which belongs to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, and regular .cc websites are unaffected by Google's changes, according to The Register.

The .co.cc second-level domain, meanwhile, is not officially authorized (like .co.uk or .com.au). Instead, it is owned by an independent Korean company. The firm claims to have 11,383,736 registered domains and 5,731,278 user accounts. If those numbers are accurate, that means Google has blocked one of the largest domain extensions in the world (bigger than both .org and .uk by over 2 million domains), or simply put, 11 million websites in one fell swoop.

"We absolutely do try to be granular, but I wanted to mention that if we see a very large fraction of sites on a specific freehost be spammy or low-quality, we do reserve the right to take action on the freehost as a whole," Matt Cutts, head of Google's web spam team, said in a statement. "I think most savvy search/SEO folks would understand this completely, but I figure it's better to over-communicate than under-communicate."

Google considers the Korean company a freehost, which is a domain that will let anyone register a site under it. There are many high-quality freehosts out there (such as wordpress.com), but there are of course poor ones, like .co.cc, according to the search giant. The .co.cc registry offers single sub-domains for free, and also lets you register 15,000 addresses at once for a mere $1,000 (just seven cents a name).

The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) recently released a 29-page report titled "Global Phishing Survey: Trends and Domain Name Use in 2H 2010" (PDF). The report revealed that the .cc top-level domain hosted 4,963 phishing attacks in the second half of 2010, almost twice the number found under any other extension, according to the APWG.

"Google's automated malware scanning systems detect sites that distribute malware," a Google spokesperson said in a statement. "To help protect users we recently modified those systems to identify bulk subdomain services which are being abused. In some severe cases our systems may now flag the whole bulk domain."
