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.

  2. Just assume you're infected. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    If you're running Windows, then it's best to assume that you have been infected. When it comes to Windows, you can never be sure that your system is actually clean, even when you use a variety of different anti-malware software. So for the safety of your data and personal information, it's best that you reinstall Windows.

    Or better yet, try to avoid Windows if you can. Ubuntu Linux is a very secure and reliable system, often supporting all of your hardware by default. Furthermore, if you use WINE you can run virtually all of your existing Windows applications and games. Best of all, Ubuntu is free!

    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 :)

    Hey dipshit he was talking about the user-agent string.

    Reading is fundamental or didn't your daddy teach you that while he was laying on your sister?

    Nope, sorry I missed teaching him that - you were right though, I *was* laying his sister, but it was a threesome with her and your mom. Your mom loves the cock btw - and that thing she does... mmmm
