Belpre, OH | said by loopy2003:Hackers attacking servers (HTTP, FTP, SMTP) is old news. Problem is, servers that perhaps might otherwise be expected to be safe are being used here. Even those who can smell a phish a mile away can be caught when they happen to visit a site that's been hacked to be used to spread this stuff.
I would also be interested in how the servers got hit myself. Likely this will be a similar case to the situation where Windows servers had been used to spread previous malware by similar means; There wasn't really a 'worm' infecting the servers... it seemed it was just people targetting attacks based on a recently patched server vulnerability to install something (document footers) which targetted a recently patched CLIENT vulnerability... etc etc..
Icky!
And bump!
