Injection Attacks Continue - Update iwdown

Well the Super Bowl is going to be starting in an hour and I'm ready to check those commercials out. I've watched the number of sites showing up that have been affected by hxxp://iwdown.com/inc/e.js that is hosted in China. A few days ago when I wrote my first post on this injection attack, the Google search results showed roughly 135,000 sites that been affected. Today, it is roughly 430,000. Now realize these numbers aren't exact, but it gives you an idea how things are progressing.

Hope your team wins tonight in the Super Bowl and hope your weekend has been great.

Asprox Botnet is Back!!

The Asprox botnet has come back to life with malicious injections into legitimate websites. Click here to see the Google search on the malicious injection. The site hosting the malicious code is h!!p://www.wmpd.ru. Now let me warn you, DO NOT CLICK ON THESE LINKS!!! These websites in this search have a vulnerability that allows attackers to inject this code. They need to close the vulnerability or they will continue to have possible attacks on their websites.

It is a good idea to avoid these sites. If your PC is not patched with all the software you have installed, then your PC can fall victim to the attackers and your PC can then be in control of the attacker and their botnet.

Hope everyone is having a safe weekend and I hope it is warmer where you are than here in the state of Kansas.
