U.S. Now Hosts More Malware Than Any Other Country

The top ten countries hosting web-based malware in Q1 2008:

Research into which countries host the most infected web pages shows some interesting changes since the 2007 Sophos Security Threat Report. The United States in particular has experienced unprecedented growth, from hosting less than 25 percent of all infected pages overall in 2007, to almost half in the first three months of 2008.

China has demonstrated the biggest drop, from hosting more than half of all the infected pages seen by Sophos in 2007, to just under a third in the first quarter of 2008. Elsewhere in the chart, newcomer Thailand was responsible for hosting 1 percent of all malware infected web pages, while the UK hosted 1.1 percent, down from 3 percent in the same period last year.

“The U.S. and China are no strangers to this chart, with the two countries long holding the top two spots in this hall of shame,” notes Mark Harris, global director of SophosLabs. “However, the bottom half of the chart remains fluid, indicating that users need to remain vigilant.”

Hacked Sites Pose Greatest Risk To IT Security

From January to the end of March 2008, Sophos identified an average of more than 15,000 newly infected web pages each day. Most worrying for computer users, is the fact that the majority of these poisoned sites – 79 percent – are found on legitimate websites that have been hacked. February saw the website of UK broadcaster ITV fall victim to a poisoned web advert campaign which targeted both Windows and Mac users, while in March a Euro 2008 football ticket website was hacked by cybercriminals in an attempt to infect unwary fans. In contrast, just one in every 2500 emails is now infected, compared to one in every 909 in 2007.

The top ten malware found on the web in Q1 2008:

The top two web threats, Mal/Iframe and Mal/ObfJS, which are together responsible for more than half of all the online malware found by SophosLabs, are programmed by cybercriminals to infect websites by taking advantage of vulnerabilities. Sophos experts warn that companies can protect their network by investing in web security that scans a webpage for malware before granting access, while companies need to ensure that their web servers are protected against hack attacks.

“About 1 percent of web requests now deliver an infected page, most of which are legitimate websites belonging to people just trying to earn a living,” says Harris.

Data Leaks Continue To Cause Embarrassment

Data leakage continues to be a major concern for organizations, with several high profile cases of businesses losing sensitive customer information reported during the first three months of 2008. In March, the largest reported data breach this year involved the credit card numbers of more than four million customers being stolen from U.S. supermarket chain Hannaford Bros. The credit card details, taken by cybercriminals using malware installed on servers at the chain’s branches, have already been used in approximately 1800 fraud cases.

These incidents cause embarrassment to businesses and government agencies and are a concern for all consumers. Sophos experts warn that cybercriminals are now more experienced and better resourced in the delivery of sophisticated attacks.

As well as ensuring payment card industry (PCI) guideline compliance, Sophos reminds businesses to consider employing further measures to make their computer systems as secure and unattractive a target for hackers as possible. “Several PCI compliant companies, including Hannaford’s, have fallen foul of enterprising cybercriminals in recent months,” adds Harris. “With more comprehensive solutions in place, businesses can make their data unappetizing to greedy hackers who are only after a free lunch.”

He is lobbying web chiefs to allow people, organisations or companies to display their Englishness online in the new domain name ending .eng John, of Maidenhead, Surrey, discovered there was no ‘dot eng’ movement, despite established campaigns by the Scots (for .sco) and the Welsh (for .cym). So he set up his own online petition at www.doteng.org – and will deliver the signatures to ICANN, the non-profit outfit which oversees domain name
endings.

Father-of-five John, 47, said : “It’s typical of our character that there isn’t a big hoo-ha about having an English domain suffix. “We don’t like to make a fuss as a nation. There’s a lot to celebrate but so often we do ourselves down. “There’s nothing whatsoever political about this. I’m not a devotee of any political party. “I suppose if it’s ‘about’ anything, for me it’s about remembering what’s great about England – tea, the Beatles, London, the Queen, beer, cricket.

“I was very ill recently and had to undergo a lot of hospital treatment. I didn’t know what to expect and I was very frightened. “But the treatment I received on the NHS was nothing short of magnificent.
And it made me realise that you don’t often hear about it when things go well. “I think it would be nice to have a .eng available for people who want to let the world know via their domain that they’re English and proud of it.” Namesco an award winning domain and hosting provider within the UK have
offered industry knowledge and advice with regards to the campaign.

A spokesman for ICANN said John probably won’t even be able to start the application process until next year. He said: “The applications for all these extensions would come to us. “Right now there is no way to apply for a domain suffix. ICANN is currently designing the policies and procedures for applications and approvals. The goal is for applications to open in early 2009.”

“The problem is that even legitimate web sites present a potential danger to the most fastidious of computer users,” says Paul Brook, Managing Director of ESET UK. “The exploit can allow an attacker to take control of the machine completely just by visiting a site or viewing an email that has been exploited. The fact that it is still so prevalent indicates that a lot of servers and machines haven’t been cleaned or patched. The best advice to users is, keep your AV software up-to-date.”

Second in the ranking for May is Win32/Perlovga, a trojan that has increased its presence steadily during the year. The threat can be transmitted through email, FTP or P2P applications and is used to collect sensitive information from infected computers. In third place is Win32/Spy.VBStat.J, a spyware program that monitors activity on infected PCs and displays popup ads. Down from first place in March, Win32/PSW.Agent.NCC was fourth in May with around 1.69 % of detections. This trojan is part of a family of Trojans that are used to steal passwords through keylogging techniques. The fifth place on the ranking for May is held by Win32/Rjump.A, a worm that includes a backdoor trojan component. Rjump.a propagates through external storage devices, such as portable hard drives, memory cards, pen drives, etc.

The number of systems exposed to the attack suddenly spiked when a post linking to an article hosted on the compromised TCSDaily website appeared on the social news aggregator site Reddit.

The malicious Java Script makes the user’s browser download and execute a Trojan. Downloader.Small.BIB – which is hosted on a Chinese website, which is probably also compromised.

“It’s a pretty simple piece of malware, but it’s obfuscated, so most antivirus programs could not detect it,” said Marius Tivadar, BitDefender antivirus researcher. “A drive-by download is like that – one often gets infected at first with something that is nearly innocuous and really stealthy, the kind of thing antivirus software is most likely to just ignore, but once your system is infected, all bets are off.”

The Trojan downloader itself downloads, from the same Chinese website, four other bits of malware, namely a backdoor, a bit of adware, a password stealer and another Trojan, by the names of, respectively Backdoor.Poisonivy.M, Adware.Bho.WOX, Trojan.Pws.OnlineGames.AUD and Trojan.Agent.ADL.

Trojan.Agent.ADL also downloads yet more malware from yet another website.

“We were hot on the trail and finding new malware everywhere as the analysis proceeded,” BitDefender antivirus researcher Mihai Calota, who had been tasked with charting out the threat. “It’s like diving into caves – there’s always this new nook which turns out to be a passage to a new room.”
