Beladen Update: Drastic Decrease in Infected Sites

Date:06.11.2009

Threat Type: Malicious Web Site / Malicious Code

Websense® Security Labs™ ThreatSeeker™ Network has detected a consistent decrease of sites infected with malicious code inserted by the Beladen massive injection.

The decrease in infections is highly suspicious, and we believe that the infected hosts are still under the control of the attackers. We suspect that those behind the infections may be automatically removing the injected scripts, getting ready to launch a new injection campaign soon.

Here is a chart showing a decrease in the number of infections over the past few days:

As we continue to monitor this attack, we will publish any interesting updates.
