Monday Midday Malware Rally

Friday was host to several interesting events that are worth mentioning.

First, Sandi at Spyware Sucks has made good on her promise to further track the movement of malvertising sites. She’s found that staticglobalsources.net redirects to adtraff.com, and explains that due to their shared server names that this new name is mascarading as a stand-in for adtraff (which has generated something of a reputation.

Second, Cnet reported that Trened Micro’s website got very hacked. The attack went after passwords and other user information. They’ve even provided a video of the attack that pursued upwards of 10,000 webpages.

On that cheery note: Happy St. Patrick’s from the most Irish city in the USA!
