Bofra exploit tied to 'massive botnet' |
|
|
cj writes "The attack on ad-serving company Falk that redirected some Reg
readers on Saturday towards a site
running malicious code may be part of a much bigger attack.
Security site vitalsecurity.org reports that a group of hackers - perhaps a
criminal gang - is hacking web servers across the net and installing root kits
that dynamically inject code into the pages served from the compromised web
servers. The injected code effectively serves as a front door to a series of
compromised hosts controlled by cyber criminals. These rogue hosts are running
exploit code that takes advantage of the IFRAME
vulnerability in Internet Explorer exploited by the recent Bofra worm.
