One of our readers, Scott F., yesterday submitted to the ISC that he had been notified in early July that one of his hosted web servers had been taken offline.  Yesterday the hosting service notified Scott that a rogue Trojan 'worm' had been discovered on the system.  Scott is now taking action to recover his system and application from the source files with a fresh install.

Which brings me to the subject of today's diary: "How do I recover from....?"  The question is intentionally vague to prompt everyone to fill in the blanks.  Recover from a system hack, a natural disaster, catastrophic equipment failure, theft etc., etc., the answers to these questions are also very broad, however to enact an effective recovery, the answers need to be as focused as they can possibly be.  Some of the crucial items to consider

 Where is my source code being stored offline?

Where is my data being stored?  Do I have an off-site contingency?

What is my recovery procedure going to be in case of 'x', where 'x' is a given failure?

How can I exercise these plans?

 These are only a few of the questions that address the recovery process.  For any pointed questions, please give us a shout.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
