Dear all,

we were experiencing a high traffic situation over the last few days which is slowing down today. It all started when ~50 seemingly random URLs mostly registered at Free Domain Hosters were shortened through our our happy URL shortener http://chilp.it last weekend.

Since all of this domains where shortened within a short amount of time and were sporting the distinctive pattern “/s.php” we found out about it and blocked those probably malicious URLs.

We most likely wouldn’t have given those blocked URLs a second thought but they received so much clicks our traffic load tripled over the last couple of days. Although we don’t know the nature of the attack we like to warn you about it and decided to publish those URLs here. Feel free to contact us if you got any questions.

Stay safe,
Cheers,
Zalt

Just to let you know: We just brought another fresh service online. Yeah!
Welcome to the Chilp Media Group Picture Painting Service http://chilp.me.

Paint a picture, share the short URL and make other people happy.
Easy does it: http://chilp.me/11 :-)

Cheers,

Great news: Chilp.it is now available via IPv6.

Host: chilp.it
IP: 2001:41D0:1:5B7d::

Dear all,

we’re heavily working on new services and will release an open beta of a fresh product soon. At this point I’m still not allowed to tell what it’s exactly about but I promise you’ll like it. ;-)
Oh, and it has nothing to do with short URLs…

Stay tuned,
Cheers,
Zalt

Dear all,

good news, we updated our brave spam fighting systems.
From now on every link that someone tries to shorten will not only be checked against our local blacklist and Google’s Safebrowsing API but also against Spamhaus’ DBL.

If that entered URL is in one of those lists the API or the web interface will respond with a new error:
“410 – Krch! Domain is blacklisted!”.
You won’t be able to shorten any links from this domain then.

All links that have been shortened in the past and magically end up on the blacklists will be blocked too.
As a result, the corresponding Chilp.it short URLs will stop working and won’t redirect to the destination anymore.

Happy shortening!

Cheers,
Zalt

We are aware of a rather massive attack against our happy service and are taking all necessary steps. We are also blocking all corresponding URLs. Thanks a lot for the reports we received so far.

Stay tuned.
