Virus of the week
News.com detailed a scary new way of infecting people’s PCs and turning them into zombie spammers, or via compromised Web sites of big-name corporations.
Visiting one of those sites with Internet Explorer for Windows could leave a malicious program on your computer. The exploit involves a JavaScript that’s automatically attached to every page distributed by a compromised server which attempts to download a Trojan horse, according to a detailed explanation posted by the Internet Storm Center.
So who is to blame? A Russian organized crime ring (or Microsoft’s security-hole factory, depending on your perspective).
