One Million Websites Infected by Cyber Criminals

Posted Mon, 12/21/2009 - 19:34 by admin

Since this past September, online security researchers have been tracking a new variation to the common Internet scam of fake anti-virus software. This new scheme uses legitimate websites that are infected by cyber criminals to infect new sites. Over one million sites who have already been infected by this new ploy have been detected by Google to date. What makes the ploy so effective is that it gets the infected sites ranked highly in Google’s SERPs, making it easily findable to unsuspecting victims.

Since detection, it has been found that the infections are typically happening because webmasters are leaving their sites vulnerable through non-updated software used to generate photo galleries and other peripheral elements, or through weakened web server and operating systems settings.

The new virus scam is able to get websites ranked well with Google by injecting new content into the website. If a online searcher finds the site via Google SERPs, they are redirected to a scareware site that displays fake anti-virus warnings. The content injected consists of fake blog posts with only titles and photos that are derived from Google Images search results. This ensures the site will rank for the keywords that the Images are ranking for.

In order for these new infected websites to dodge Google Search warning flags, the content isn’t placed directly on the infected sites, rather on a page that the clickers are redirected to. This helps keep the infected website from being detected as dangerous. In addition to the classic attack-angle of getting users to install malware on their own computers, these fake anti-viruses also collect personal information to steal identities.

You can avoid the new scamware ploy by copying and pasting links from search engine results directly into your browser’s address bar, rather than clicking directly on the link to it. If you do find yourself on one of these fake sites, don’t click anywhere within the virus warning messages. Instead use ALT-F4 to shut down the window.

The next step you should take is to clean your registry. Any form of fake spyware or scamware will certainly have left its mark on you registry, and you will want to remove it before it infects all of your programs.
