One of our readers, Jim, wrote in earlier today to say he has noticed an increase in "working" typo squatting over the last 2 months or so.  That is, he's seen users accidently surfing to them or being redirected there by some sort of malicious javascript trickery.  His question for us (and the rest of you) is, is this a local phenomenon or are the bad guys making more use of this tactic?  I'm not currently setup to monitor this type of activity, so I figured I'd ask our loyal readers.  Do you monitor your proxy and DNS logs for this type of activity and have you seen an increase?  Leave a comment below or our contact form to let us know.  Below are just a few examples of the domains he has seen.

Bogus domains include:

  • boatrader.com
  • charleesschwab.com
  • chsse.com
  • cnnmonet.com
  • dilymail.co.uk

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
