The Whitehouse.org Serving Malware

The Whitehouse.org a parody site of the original Whitehouse.gov is serving malware. From TrendMicro's blog :

"According to Trend Micro Advanced Threats Researcher David Sancho, whitehouse.org has been compromised to harbor some malicious, obfuscated JavaScript code which “background downloads” code to unsuspecting visitors of the site, where a malicious file is downloaded (which is detected by Trend Micro as TROJ_DELF.GKP ). Of course, the official White House Web site is whitehouse.gov, and although it has been reported that some people believe whitehouse.org is the real deal, even those looking for this site specifically should be forewarned."

The malicious domain embedded within the site ad.ox88.info/13.htm (67.15.212.150) is using Mal/ObfJS-AP/Exploit:HTML/AdoStream to serve the malware, whereas the domain itself is using DNS servers known to provide service to malicious domains from previous malware embedded attacks that I've been assessing.
