Google Blog Alert Investigated by Aladdin Content Security Response Team (CSRT)

by Oren Medini

In light of the scammers' new trend of utilizing blogs to spread malware, a specially crafted security-like blog hosted at blogger.com shows up with loads of Trojans, backdoors, rogue security applications, and more. The story begins when a dubious Google blog alert, noting a new blog entry mentioning various security products aroused our suspicion here at the Aladdin Content Security Response Team (CSRT). The blog on which the entry is posted was extensively investigated, and the findings revealed what appears to be an increasingly used new method of delivering malware.

More information about this incident is available here.
