Phpishing issues	Posted by Mikko @ 08:51 GMT

We're now detecting the various PHP-related malware found over the last days as variants of these families:

 Net-Worm.Perl.Santy
 Backdoor.Perl.Shellbot
 Backdoor.Perl.Termapp
 Backdoor.Perl.Nois

They all target PHP or phpBB vulnerabilities.

Some of them try to search for targets using AOL and Yahoo search engines. As far as we can see, the AOL searches will fail but Yahoo searches are working. So we're once again trying to contact search engine administrations to get them to block malicious searches.
