On June 2nd security firm Websense put out an advisory warning Web site owners about malicious code that redirects surfers to seemingly safe sites.
About 40,000 Web sites appear to have been compromised with rogue JavaScript code that redirects Web surfers to a fake Google Analytics site, after which they get passed onto a site that tries to exploit Internet Explorer or Firefox vulnerabilities to infect that PC with spyware. If the site can’t find a browser vulnerability, it tries to trick the user into downloading a Trojan virus.
It’s not clear how the sites were compromised, but Computerworld reported the redirect sites are being hosted in the Ukraine, implying that the Russian Business Network is behind the the threat.
If your computer is not already protected, look for reputable award-winning anti virus and anti spyware software such as ZoneAlarm Security Suite. ZoneAlarm Security Suite provides real time anti virus and anti spyware protection.
