In 2008 it became evident that a widespread malware-embedded attack took place successfully affecting hundreds of iPowerWeb customers potentially exposing hundreds of legitimate Web sites to a multi-tude of malicious software courtesy of a well known Russian Business Network's hosting provider - HostFresh.

In this post we'll profile the campaign provide actionable intelligence on the infrastructure behind it and discuss in-depth the tactics techniques and procedures of the cybercriminals behind it. We'll also establish a direct connection between the campaign's infrastructure and the Russian Business Network.
