RE: LizaMoon Mass Injection Attack Spreads Rapidly

A recently announced mass injection attack dubbed LizaMoon is spreading rapidly and managed to infect over 1.5 million web pages in just a few days.

The mass compromise was announced by Websense on Tuesday, at which time it had already affected some 28,000 pages and made its way onto iTunes.

One interesting aspect of the attack was that by the time researchers spotted the infection, the domain hosting rogue code, lizamoon.com, was already inactive.

While this has not changed, the infection took massive proportions and started using new domains, including worid-of-books.com, alexblane.com, alisa-carter.com and t6ryt56.info.
