We received quite a bit of reports of people saying that Secunia’s web site has been defaced. And indeed, when I visit Secunia’s web site from my machine (located in Europe), I see a defaced web site as below:

Secunia's defacement

However, after double checking it appears that their DNS records have been modified. The “defaced” web site is located (for me) at the following IP address:

$ host www.secunia.com
www.secunia.com is an alias for secunia.com.
secunia.com has address 81.95.49.32
secunia.com mail is handled by 0 secunia.com.

Checking my passive DNS system, I can see that previously www.secunia.com was at 213.150.41.226.

And, as suspected, after checking manually we can see that the original Secunia’s web site is still there:

$ telnet 213.150.41.226 80
Trying 213.150.41.226...
Connected to secunia.com (213.150.41.226).
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: secunia.com

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2010 08:46:29 GMT
Server: Apache
...
        <meta name="Title" content="Secunia.com">
                <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/secunia.css">

Checking WHOIS entries will show more, but this "defacement" again shows how DNS is a critical resource.

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.
