http://www.computerworld.com/action/articl...7&intsrc=kc_top – full story. Hackers launch massive IFrame attack Search-cache subversion infects 400,000 pages, traced to RBN "Hackers using a new scam continue to subvert hundreds of thousands of Web pages with IFrame redirects that send unwary users to malware-spewing sites, researchers said today. The attacks, which began about a week ago, show no signs of slowing, said Dancho Danchev in a posting to his blog yesterday. "The group is continuing to expand the campaign," said the Bulgarian researcher. "These are the high-profile sites targeted by the same group within the past 48 hours, with the number of locally cached and IFrame-injected pages within their search engines." Danchev listed more than 20 sites that together account for more than 401,000 IFrame-injected pages. The sites include high-profile sites such as the North Carolina State University library, the U.S. Administration on Aging and the U.S. government's Medicare program, as well as questionable sites such as BitTorrent sites hosting pirated software and other content. The attacks "just keep growing," said Ben Greenbaum, a senior research manager at Symantec Corp.'s security response team. Greenbaum explained the attacks, which are not strictly site compromises, use the search-result caches that these sites maintain. “ |
