New Mass Injection Wave of WordPress Websites | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it

The Websense® ThreatSeeker® Network has detected a new wave of mass-injections of a well-known exploit that we've been following in Security LabsTM for months.

 

The majority of targets are Web sites hosted by the WordPress content management system. At the time of writing, more than 200,000 Web pages have been compromised, amounting to close to 30,000 unique Web sites (hosts).

 

The injection hijacks visitors to the compromised sites and rediects them to rogue AV sites that attempt to trick them into downloading and installing a Trojan onto their computer.
