Coimbatore, May 2

Websense Security Labs has discovered malicious code hosted on a Mexican Government official web site and identified the victim as the Comisión Federal de Telecomunicaciones. While the main page of this Mexican Government Web site did not contain anything malicious, when a user visits http://prospectiva.cft.gob.mx/, an .scr file is downloaded. After execution, the .scr file drops an executable into the Windows start up directory for all users. The alert further states that the author of the malicious executable has taken an additional step in disguising this file by adding company version information and claiming that to have come from "Microsoft Corporation".
