Mysql.com hacked, serving BlackHole exploit malware

Sep 26, 2011
Mysql.com hacked, serving BlackHole exploit malware MySQL.com website is currently hacked and compromised with a JavaScript malware (and serving malware to anyone visiting it). The mysql.com website is injected with a script that generates an iFrame that redirects the visitors to http://truruhfhqnviaosdpruejeslsuy.cx.cc/main.php, where the BlackHole exploit pack is hosted. " It exploits the visitor's browsing platform (the browser, the browser plugins like Adobe Flash, Adobe PDF, etc, Java, ...), and upon successful exploitation, permanently installs a piece of malware into the visitor's machine, without the visitor's knowledge ," say the researchers. " The visitor doesn't need to click or agree to anything; simply visiting mysql.com with a vulnerable browsing platform will result in an infection." It is, of course, impossible to say who the attackers are. The domain reached through the iFrame is registered to one Christopher J Klein from Miam...

USA Today Twitter Account Hacked By Script Kiddie

USA Today Twitter Account Hacked By Script Kiddie A group calling itself “ The Script Kiddies ” hacked USA Today’s Twitter account this weekend and used it to solicit requests for future targets and even to promote its own Facebook page. Although this recent hack seems like more of a childish prank, this group is being taken seriously by the FBI due to its earlier hacks involving false terrorism claims posted to NBC’s Twitter account. USA Today quickly regained control of the compromised feed. " @usatoday was hacked and as a result false tweets were sent. We worked with Twitter to correct it. The account is now back in our control ," it said. " We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion caused to our readers and thank you for reading @usatoday ." It’s possible that the new USA Today hack involved a spyware Trojan horse, like the earlier NBC hack did. For the NBC hack, NBC News’s director of social media Ryan Osborn could have received a Trojan horse conta...
