Beware of Compromised Halloween-themed Web Sites
Websense® Security Labs™ ThreatSeeker™ Network has
discovered that numerous Halloween-themed Web sites have been
compromised as Halloween approaches and users are more likely to visit.
One particular example is a Web site selling Halloween
costumes. The deobfuscation returned by ThreatSeeker shows that the
JavaScript has multiple layers of obfuscation. The script contacts a
malcious server in the .biz TLD. Within the ThreatSeeker network, we
have seen almost ten thousand sites infected with the same obfuscation
technique.
