Cascading Redirects: Unmasking a Multi-Site JavaScript Malware Campaign

A recent investigation uncovered a malicious JavaScript injection affecting WordPress websites, redirecting visitors to unwanted third-party domains. The attack vector involves a two-stage redirection process, injecting code into theme files and loading external scripts. The malware creates hidden elements to force redirects, potentially leading to phishing pages, malvertising, exploit kits, or scam sites. At least 31 infected websites were identified, with domains like awards2today[.]top and chilsihooveek[.]net involved. The infection methods include compromised admin accounts, exploited vulnerabilities, inadequate file permissions, and hidden PHP backdoors. Impacts include traffic loss, reputation damage, SEO blacklisting, and risks of further infections. Detection involves inspecting network activity and file modifications, while prevention measures include regular security audits, updates, strong passwords, and web application firewalls.

We talked about securing networks by blocking bad things in DNS and how our research group @InfobloxThreatIntel does that work. I talk a bit about malicious adtech like #VexTrio ....

This whole show is completely unrehearsed and i had no real idea what we were going to cover lol... so fingers crossed it makes sense to folks.

There are some great episodes about the Dyn attacks in 2015 that you should listen to if you have an interest in DDOS attacks.
