Hi - are you aware of any fake or phishing Openoffice download site?
yes.
The top return came back with "Openoffice 2011 download" and showing "www.openoffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org>" as the url address yet when I followed the link, an address of "www.openofficeonline2011.com <http://www.openofficeonline2011.com>" was directed and opened.
I would be surprise if such a site gets invoke by a redirection from the OOo main page. But, these phishers own quite a few domains with typical typos in "openoffice", hence they get some traffic this way.
The site appeared very ligit, offered many download buttons, yet displayed latest version as 3.1.1. The download button directed to this address: www.openofficeonline2011.com/download.php <http://www.openofficeonline2011.com/download.php>
That one is certainly known. [...]
I am concerned about any infection this site may have conveyed through clicking visiting it.
Unlikely.
Thank you for your time. I hope this heads up is useful to you as well.
Thanks for reporting the issue. I will have a look. Unfortunately we cannot do much, as long as these dubious businesses are following the LGPL.
