Icky redirect trick
I found a post on Careless Thought that detailed an exploit.
I got curious and loaded the link. Luckily I did it in Sam Spade, because although that link looks innocuous enough (a .txt document), there’s a redirect to auto.pl within that page…
And she’s right, it points back to the Umax search spammer.
I can’t tell for sure what it’s doing. It does activate ActiveX applets…
I see the Adsense ID:
pub-6579018274503073
But I don’t have a clue what it does.
