Using Adobe Flash, the malvertisements silently \u201cpull in\u201d malicious exploits from the FlashPack Exploit Kit. The exploits attack a vulnerability in the end-users\u2019 browser and install CryptoWall 2.0 on end-users\u2019 computers. Similar to the behavior of other \u201cransomware,\u201d CryptoWall then encrypts the end-users\u2019 hard drive and will not allow access until the victim pays a fee over the Internet for the decryption key. Typically, the end-users face an escalating time deadline; failure to pay by the deadline results in their hard drives being permanently encrypted, thus rendered effectively useless, with all information inaccessible.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nWhich websites were impacted?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Proofpoint detected that the following large websites were serving malvertisements which delivered the FlashPack exploit kit to visitors. The sites themselves were not compromised; rather, the advertising networks upon which they relied for dynamic content were inadvertently serving malware \u2013 which in turn, was not due to an explicit compromise of the networks; rather, it was due to the networks accepting ads from a malicious source without screening detection. The sites&#8217; domain and Alexa rankings are displayed in parenthesis after each in order to provide context of potential end-user impact. All told, more than 3 million visitors per day were potentially exposed to this malvertising campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Yahoo!
