Thousands of web sites compromised, redirect to scareware

Security researchers have detected a massive blackhat SEO search engine optimization campaign consisting of over 200,000 compromised web sites, all redirecting to fake security software Inst_58s6.exe, commonly referred to as scareware.More details on the campaign:The compromised sites are using legitimately looking templates using automatically generated bogus content, with a tiny css.js Trojan-Downloader.JS.FraudLoad uploaded on each of them which triggers the scareware campaign only if the visitor is coming a search engine listed as known http referrer by the gang – in this case Google, Yahoo, Live, Altavista, and Baidu : “Cyveillance has discovered a complex attack vector that uses Google search results to distribute malicious software malware to unsuspecting Internet users. Using this attack vector, users click on links within Google search results and are routed to sites that attempt to download malware to their computers. The attack method also relies on inattentive webmasters who do not update the software on their sites and often unknowingly provide the material that appears in the search results. The common string albums/bsblog/category is found in the URLs for all these blogs. By simply using the Google search parameter allinurl, along, you can see how many other sites contain the same string. As can be seen in the image above, more than 260,000 URLs are presented in Google’s search index leading to blogs similar to the ones illustrated in our example. As you can see, only a small portion of sites in the search results carry a warning provided by Google. The reason for the small number of warnings is likely because the actual attacks do not take place on the website URLs in the search results, but on the sites you’re redirected to thereby decreasing the chances that Google will designate the destination sites as harmful.”At first, it would appear that the campaign is an isolated one and is maintained by a cybercrime enterprise yet to be analyzed. However, analyzing it reveals a rather anticipated connection – the massive blackat SEO campaign has been launched by the same people who operate/or manage the campaigns for the Koobface botnet. For instance, the domains mentioned by Cyveillance, as well as the newly introduced ones over the past couple of hours, are the very same domains currently embedded on Koobface infected hosts.

In response to a direct question about the financial health of One Steamboat Place in an economic downturn, David Burden offered assurances that financing for the completion of the project is “absolutely” secure, and said he’s optimistic that its slopeside location in Steamboat will continue to make it attractive in a difficult marketplace. “This is where our philosophy of always doing projects in a great location comes into play,” Burden said. “We’re front row and center.” The financing for construction of One Steamboat Place comes from multibillion-dollar real estate investment groups in London, Atlanta and a large German bank. He said he would not name the bank without prior approval from the institution.
