The source of one of the latest Microsoft Windows vulnerabilities was found and disabled as a Russian web server was located and shut down. The server carried a payload of trojan horse software that was being downloaded by computers infected with some malware I had mentioned here earlier.
The offending server’s shutdown was only seen as a temorary fix though. Microsoft has yet to release a patch for one of the exploits used in this latest attack, so until that patch is developed, it’s only a matter of time before someone else exploits this bug and directs it to do their bidding.
