masquerades as the legitimate CastleCops site... The site is mirroring, in near real-time, CastleCops. It seems to be primarily used for SEO purposes and possibly to steal valid user accounts, but could serve malware or exploits...

There are other domains sharing the same IP (207.226.177.250):

pepato org
slim-cash com
spyware-wiper com
Cpaypal com
Crazycounter net

All are copying legitimate sites...
