McAfee Reporting 'Mass Attack' Underway

posted this item

Avert Labs says its initial look shows more than 10,000 web pages have been compromised so far, and that "analysis is ongoing."

Also Wednesday, CA reported a new threat that it is classifying as a "high" threat: Dialer.Saristar, as well as a couple of other threats, including one which it is saying is "critical."

Pardon this blog item being cut short, but there are a firewall and some AV applications around here that may need double-checking.

Update, 7:36 p.m. ET - McAfee Avert Labs has updated its information, and provided a video showing what happens on the end-user's side after one of these attacks has left its malware.
