The re-direct allowed for a "drive by download" of the file '3107wugfzln[n].exe to the 'Temporary Internet Files\Content' directory. This is a 'Trojan Horse' for RootkitAgent.C. A dialer 'Dialer.28.Al' was also installed to the Java and ActiveX libraries. My AV software (updated daily) caught the download, but it still took a bit to close out the session and ensure no other corruption had taken place.

We'll commence an investigation immediately to identify a scapegoat. After that, maybe we'll get around to solving the problem. Uh-oh.

We were forced to switch from Drupal so abruptly that we couldn't send out a final post advising readers to update their RSS feeds. I'd like to correct that, but the old site is still <i>cough</i> FUBARed <i>cough</i>. Have you switched to the new feed in the upper right corner?
