International Electrotechnical Commission Website Compromised, Redirect Exploits Internet Explorer, QuickTime And AOL SuperBuddy
Websense Security Labs has discovered that a subdomain of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Web site has been compromised. The IEC is an international standards organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Member countries include Japan, Australia, U.S.A., central European countries, and numerous others.
The infected subdomain belongs to the TC26 group. Unprotected users would be subjected to execution of obfuscated Javascript that redirects to an exploit site, hosting exploits for Internet Explorer, QuickTime and AOL SuperBuddy. Successful execution of the exploit code incurs a drive-by download and installs a backdoor on the compromised machine. Major antivirus vendors are not detecting this payload at this time.
