Service Automates Boobytrapping of Hacked Sites
Summary: Krebs on Security describes "iFramer" services such as iframeservice.net that let criminals outsource the management of large numbers of hacked sites, verifying stolen FTP credentials, uploading malware and malicious scripts, and checking each link. The service also tests hijacked sites for root exploits, monitors URL blacklists to alert customers when boobytrapped pages get flagged, and obfuscates the true destination of malicious links.
Key Takeaway: Much of the malware in the wild steals stored FTP credentials from infected machines and can inject malicious scripts into locally stored HTML pages, so a single infected administrator PC can seed every site that person manages.
