Dissecting the Massive SQL Injection Attack Serving Scareware


A currently ongoing massive SQL injection attack has affected hundreds of thousands of web pages across the Web, to ultimately monetize the campaign through a scareware affiliate program. Such massive SQL injection attempts are usually conducted using mass vulnerability scanning tools, with the help of search engines which have already crawled the vulnerable sites.

What's particularly interesting about this campaign, is the fact that the used domains are all responding to the same IPs, including the portfolios of scareware domains, which the cybercriminals naturally rotate on a periodic basis. Let's dissect the campaign, expose the domain portfolios and the entire campaign structure.
