More on the Russian Business Network

An organized crime network is distributing malware that takes advantage of rootkits and a state-of-the-art HTML injection to phish consumers as they browse the web, according to a new report from VeriSign's iDefense labs. The malware code operates from an IP address registered to the Russian Business Network (RBN). As a result, iDefense advised monitoring network traffic to the remote RBN server at the IP address 81.95.147.107 to look for suspicious activity related to the attack. This isn’t the first time RBN has struck innocent users. The address and the group were responsible for the Corpse Spyware Nuclear Grabber/Haxdoor attacks conducted in January 2007. - SC Magazine March 3, 2007
