MySQL.com hacked and was serving malware

I've not got this post up as fast as I'd have liked.. so I'm just going to give you a brief overview.
  • The MySQL.com front page was compromised and had a malicious iframe injected in to it which linked to a malicious site which hosted a blackHole exploit "pack" that probes for known browser and plugin weaknesses and then stealthily installs malware on the visitor's PC.
  • The exploit didn't required any interaction or confirmation from the user.
  • Two different trojans were detected being sent to users, Troj/WndRed-C and Troj/Agent-TNV
  • Because of the nature of the iframe attack, and the redirect chain the attackers could have easily varied the payload.

Security blogger Brian Krebs reports that he had seen a post last week on a Russian hacker forum by a member offering to sell root access MySQL.com for $3,000.


Below you can see a video of the attack in action.
