Stuxnet SEO Poisoning

[noaccount]

Ya, what did you expect?

As expected, criminals are now taking advantage of the notoriety of Stuxnet as a mechanism to deploy malicious code. Advanced Threats Researcher Ivan Macalintal found poisoned search results that leveraged on this notorious malware threat. Some of the search strings used in this blackhat SEO campaign include “stuxnet SCADA,” “stuxnet removal tool,” “stuxnet cleanup,” “stuxnet siemens,” and “stuxnet worm” among others. Some of these poisoned search words/phrases appeared on top results. One of the malicious URLs ({BLOCKED}lo-canada.org/2008/stuxnet.html) where the search strings points to, leads users to sites that exploit vulnerabilities as described in CVE-2010-0886 and CVE-2010-1885. Moreover, in some of the search results seen, users are redirected to sites with PDF and SWF exploits.
