Relentless Web Attack Hard To Kill

Posted by kdawson on from the stay-dead-willya dept.

ancientribe writes "The thousands of Web sites infected by a new widespread SQL injection attack during the past few days aren't necessarily in the clear after they remove the malicious code from their sites. Researchers from Kaspersky Lab have witnessed the attackers quickly reinfecting those same sites all over again. Meanwhile, researchers at SecureWorks have infiltrated the Chinese underground in an attempt to procure a copy of the stealthy new automated tool being used in the attacks."

    It's because of security reports like this, I always recommend Kaspersky security suite over any other anti-virus solution available (free or otherwise). These guys are in the internet-trenches fighting for a more secure internet, and a more secure planet. It is widely known that they are the best in the business. So while many users will try and limp by on free anti-virus, Kaspersky just updated all my computers with protection against these attacks.
