Beware - Super Bowl Site Hacked!

by Cathy on February 3rd, 2007

Saying this has anything to do with RSS is a stretch, but I’m here to serve my readers and if this saves even one of you, it’s worth it!
Who’s going to watch the SuperBowl tomorrow? If you do, don’t go to the official website of ProPlayer Stadium. Why would anyone do that anyway? According to Websense Security Labs,

the official website of Dolphin Stadium has been compromised with malicious code. The Dolphin Stadium is currently experiencing a large number of visitors, as it is the home of Sunday’s Super Bowl XLI. The site is linked from numerous official Super Bowl websites and various Super Bowl-related search terms return links to the site.

A link to a malicious javascript file has been inserted into the header of the front page of the site. Visitors to the site execute the script, which attempts to exploit two vulnerabilities: MS06-014 and MS07-004. Both of these exploits attempt to download and execute a malicious file.

So, if you are surfing around looking for SuperBowl ’stuff’, don’t go to the site of the Dolphin’s stadium.

If it is fixed before tomorrow, I’ll let you know!
