Asus.com Compromised With Exploit Code

Posted by kdawson on from the be-careful-out-there dept.

Juha-Matti Laurio writes in with news that the Web site of ASUSTeK Computer (asus.com) has been compromised to spread exploit code. The original report from Kaspersky Lab claimed that the compromise lead to code exploiting the recently patched Microsoft Windows Animated Cursor (.ANI) 0-day vulnerability, but sans.org found no evidence of this. Apparently a malicious iframe was added to one of the machines in asus.com's DNS round-robin.

    Why should you be worried? Oh, you might be using Windows... then yes. But then again you should be worried the moment you plug in the ethernet cable. BTW, it's safe to turn off Security Center service, just memorize "your computer might not be safe", SC sometimes is wrong and says you're OK.

    Yup, it's a troll, but I just can't resist having fun at expense of Windows users :)
