Coimbatore, April 4

Websense Security Labs has spotted a large e-mail spam run with the subject line - `Hot Pictures of Britney Spears' - linked to sites hosting the ANI (Windows Animated Cursor) exploit code.

The lab, which is tracking the various sites to buttonhole the malicious code, found that the users who clicked on the links were being redirected to one of the several sites it was tracking. "The sites contain obfuscated JavaScript. The decoded JavaScript sends all users to the same Web site, which is hosting the exploit code. The main server that hosts the exploit code is hosted in Russia and has been used by groups that have installed rootkits, password stealing Trojans, and other nefarious code in the past,'' says a Websense release.
