Just checking in for a moment to let you know that I’m still around, just really really busy launching a new business.
In short:
Watch out for a nasty piece of malware named JS/Redir. a.k.a. Gumblar. Reports have surfaced this little sucker is making quite a stir. I can actually verify that it is indeed very active. I just spent the better of two days at a customer site tracking down this little beasty and all the other friends he invited to the party. What a mess for those guys, but I did find a couple of decent blog sites that give pretty good information; very helpful to those already affected:
