Internet Search poisoning - 2nd wave could be on the way?

I may have spoken too soon, as a new batch of .cn sites are starting to show up, according to Sunbelt

Internet Search poisoning - 2nd wave could be on the way?

Sunbelt is reporting new seedings for the .cn domain (China) oriented websites in Google (and this could  possibly show up in other search engines). The sites are not launching exploit attacks yet, but this could change. 

What to avoid:  Avoid unusual sites with random letter/number combos, numerical IP addresses, and sites which end in a domain name of "cn" from Internet searches.

Sunbelt: HEADS UP: More Google poisoning on the way?

Google has removed the sites responsible for the recent massive Google poisoning attack. However, we’re seeing indications that another attack may be on the way. We have seen another spate of websites freshly registered, using the similar .cn domains. There seem to be two different groups here.  Right now, we’re not seeing either site serve exploits, as we saw in the last attack. However, this could change.
