US Consulate Website Infected with Malware
13th Sep 2007
Pages from US Consulate General in St. Petersburg, Russia, were infected by malware earlier this week.
The infected pages have since been cleaned up, reports security firm Sophos which monitored results of the assault.
Sophos was able to retrieve a copy of one of the infected Consulate pages, and were able to identify the malware script planted on the site as Mal/ObfJS-C, which attempts to load further malware from a remote server.
