The attackers modified the JavaScript file "common/js/s_code_remote.js" on the server; this file is downloaded with all pages on MySQL.com. The modified version created an iFrame which then loaded the "Blackhole exploit pack". The exploit pack in turn uses vulnerabilities in older browsers or unpatched versions of Flash Reader and Java to compromise Windows systems and allow the installation of back-doors, bots and other contaminants. </em> </p> http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/10594#post-53003 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 06:34:41 +0000 Pierre 53003@http://www.winextra.com/forums/ <p>Download the Windows 8 <a href="http://www.winbeta.org/?q=news/download-windows-8-developer-preview" target="_blank">Developer preview</a>. </p>
