According to David Jacoby, a Kaspersky Lab Expert, there was
a 3700% increase in JavaScript-based redirection scripts in Sweden during the
month of September. The majority of these malicious redirectors were Trojan.JS.Redictor.ro.
The code redirects users to another URL with minimal difference so users are
not alerted to do an address
verification. And it went from the 908th to the 15th most
detected ID
verification malware in Sweden.
Jacoby also reports that in October, there have been seven
new variants of exploits attacking Swedish users. It is noted there are more
Java exploits than PDF exploits. The newly found exploits are:
- Exploit.Java.CVE-2010-0840.dj
- Exploit.JS.Pdfka.ezg
- Exploit.Java.CVE-2010-0840.dc
- Exploit.Java.CVE-2010-0840.do
- Exploit.Java-CVE-2010-0840.df
- Exploit.Java-CVE-2010-0840.dn
- Exploit.Java-CVE-2010-0840.dd
