GSC Hacked

is GSC being hacked again or it’s only the webmaster/programmer mistake? Some of the reader even said GSC website always timeout when buying tickets online, but for me so far I have been purchasing tickets with my Credit Card, it fast and smooth experience for me =)

Few months back it was hacked with 2117966.net

Today as I surf to GSC.com.my – place where most Malaysians make their bookings for cinema tickets, AVG Security Toolbar alerted me of a JS/Downloader.Agent threat coming from 2117966.net!”

All Malaysian’s should take the necessary step not to visit this site at the moment until this problem is fix.
Update: GSC has removed the exploit. You can now surf GSC.com.my without any worries.

We have made a report on our blog not too long ago about 10,000 website injected with malicious iframe – this is the same threat that is affecting GSC’s website. This particular threat takes advantage of the vulnerability in Internet Explorer ActiveX and SANS Internet Storm Center said that as a result of this threat a password-stealer program will be installed on the infected machine.

AVG alert of 2117966.net

Further looking at GSC’s html source code, we found related code entries to load a javascript “fuckjp.js” from 2117966.net.

This blog is a platform to share what I love in life: food (eat), travel (play), photography (art) and life (thoughts and ideas). With passion for food, I share my foodie adventures and indulgences here. “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”

Traveling makes us a better human being as we recognise the similarities and celebrate the differences of cultures between where we travel to and where we come from. “The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”

Photography do more than just capturing the best moments in our lives; they also help us tell our life stories. “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
