Re: Redmond Magazine SQL Injected by Chinese Hacktivists

So far from what I've read I've only heard talk of this as SQL
injection to update tables and put in these malicious links, but I've
heard no talk of data exfiltration... Has anyone heard about data
being stolen as a result of this widespread attack?

Funnily enough, I noticed this yesterday when looking for some info on
Virtual Server. Google has ~ 45,000 hits for wowyeye.cn/m.js but only
a small minority are marked as malicious sites..

Other pages on redmondmag.com - for example
http://redmondmag.com/columns/article.asp?EditorialsID=1166&page=3 -
reference www.qiqigm.com which is currently alive and attempting MDAC
and RealPlayer exploits

Hello,

It appears that Redmond - The Independent Voice of the Microsoft IT
Community, formerly known as Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine
is currently flagged as a badware site, and third-party exploit
detection tools are also detecting internal pages as exploit hosting
ones, in this particular case Mal/Badsrc-A. Redmond Developer News and
Redmond Channel Partner Online are also affected.
