DefenceCorp (Signcode - Arube SpA)

So i was browing around on the interweb and did a google on DefenceCorp (I bet im not the onlyone that's done this).

2 domains pop up

DefenceCorp.com
DefenceCorp.org

The first seems a pseudo legit IT security company, with the domain registered in the UK last yeah (info from whois.net)

The second is more wierd. It just says under construction, but written in white on white is a huge block of what apear to be random numbers and letters, starting like this:

=================================
SignCode - Aruba SpA
========================================
195a5b2e00///f8/c235e78057ae37d/095a1d78d1cfe0f2a3f/9ca000f/4becce 0f3db8055cee313c5c11a4ac1/953/5d347cf8/7df9e130b289/09dc8bd33117 739727/be52a9f2af13f89/b0bef59//f28a2/0100bb423985/2738b12e2818e bf487da54aa5b843/5b78fc98e5a3/1//d275772c03771d/f583b/ea585e4da7 7825c0b/1d42f984e0238d/3e179e105c02d/d5057a37d2f0c4cdcf5/e8b5b2d 20/300aa9c023ec93d10d9a44/da139ee/f8/c03e1d7dd9ff32c/a/8ec5804/d 4057da2359cb4cb10cd7ed59b451138dd/1be8024a17e321/ae9ccfae8/b2d81 3f9e2f0/44a5dded8/8ac2db21a4ed1978aad05/820e408c8d1bb41f7815932d

And it continues like this for quite a while. Again whois speaks against this site being part of the game (registered in Italy for one - and hece my OffTopic tag). But when i try to google "Signcode - Aruba SpA" I get presented with 300k websites of similar content like that, drowning out any site that might possibly try to explain what it is. Also Wikipedia doesn't have an entry on it as far as I can see.

That's why im asking if anyone here knows what it is, and might possibly explain it to me. I figured that experienced ARG'ers might have stumbled onto this aswell, by analysing random website sourcecode.

Just to clarify, the other thing that makes this seem OOG to me is that our DefenseCorp is spelt with an s. Razz

As for the SignCode stuff, I have no idea. Sorry.

As much as I'd like this to be in-game, the fact that it's in Italian makes me doubt it Sad

It just seems to be a lot of different checksums.

No idea what for.

However, I doubt it's game-based. Very heavily.

1) Italy.
2) over 200000 sites with exactly the same thing. I reckon it's just a domain name spammer.
3) Defence, not defense.

Still is a wierd thing to stumble on, and the amounts of websites with it is mindblowing =D
