Most of the threat activity for this week was directed towards Facebook
and Twitter users. Large e-mail campaigns for password reset
confirmations led to compromised Facebook accounts and Trojan
installations, with the primary goal of stealing bank account information.
Sun issued advance notification to patch at least six vulnerabilities in Java on
Tuesday, 2009-11-03. There is also an unspecified buffer overflow
vulnerability in the current version of Java System Web Server. The
Guardian Newspaper reported a “sophisticated” intrusion on their jobs
site, and Gawker Media became the victim of a malvertisement similar to
September’s attack on the New York Times.
