Malicious code from http://internetcountercheck.com

Filed under: tech — vik @ 8:24 pm

A friend hosts a website that he hadn’t paid attention to  many days. Recently he noticed the homepage was throwing up a code error. After some checking he found an unknown php code inserted randomly, that contained a link to http://internetcountercheck.com.

The malicious code didn’t actually execute anything – in fact it tried to spout a hyperlink, but only resulted in a runtime error resulting in the whole site being down. If it happens on an active site, it’d be detected in a minute and fixed.
