That's my understanding of it, what ad network was the metservice using?

It's using openx now but not sure if that was what they were using before or whether they switched in a new system.

I know the software in use was OpenX and seeing they applied an update then I believe it was in house.

freitasm: Folks, on request of MetService I have created this blog post: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/freitasm/7776

Could you please check that the information is correct or closer to what we know, and if there's anything else we can add or change please send me a PM so I can update it?

I guess there will be quite a few readers on that so it would be good to get it as easier as possible for people to follow.

Thanks!


Nice.  Can I suggest dropping a link on NZNog?

freitasm:
DonGould: So far I've read that AVG and MSE aren't stopping it.


Try Norton Power Eraser and let us know: http://security.symantec.com/nbrt/overview.aspx?lcid=1033

 


Thanks FM, now my problem is I don't know if I've actually got an issue any more to even be checking for.  I note two MSE updates in the past 24 hours.

But MSE is a bit strange.  I did a full scan a month back and it picked up a virus in an old back up.  I did a scan yesterday and it picked up the same virus in a slightly different part of the old back up.  So I'm left wondering why MSE didn't pick up the same issue in both locations the first time?

Sorry, does that mean you're going to or you'd like me to?

Also should we contact the http://www.auscert.org.au people directly and ask them for comment?  They post updates on issues on AuNOG but not NZNog I don't think.

You do it please.

No need to contact auscert I think.

I've contacted Microsoft New Zealand for comments on MSE working/not working in this case. Waiting for a reply.

Hi guys - we've had an enquiry regarding what implications this may have to iPads; I'm thinking no Java, no problems? Would be great to hear what you think - we really appreciate you all wading in on this issue!

Thanks

Hello Jacqui. I wouldn't expect this to be of any consequence on iPad, iPhones and other smartphone mobile platforms.

So this was not an IE-specific expoit, but would have affected all browsers with Java installed?

To see what it does I fed it some fake credit card numbers that pass validation.

When you try and pay, it connects to 91.226.212.37 and then gets redirected to https://secure.fastbillingonline.com/payment/?... to take the credit card details.

I won't publish the whois results of the IP here, but it does resolve to the Ukraine; the billing site has a US registrant.
