Chinese Internet Security Response Team Website Hosting Malicious Content - UPDATE

Via The Register:

A recent post by the team at the Chinese Internet Security Response Team to their English-language site indicates that some of the site visitors are experiencing an attack from the CISRT.org site as a result of an injected IFRAME tag.

Injected IFRAME tags are not a new means of using legitimate sites to launch attacks on unsuspecting users, with a recent notable case being the Bank of India hack. What is different in this case is that the hack is only being served to seemingly random site visitors.

More here.

Note: I'm wondering if it is still hosting malicious content -- there is a lot of embedded JavaScript at that site that I just don't have time right now to examine in more detail. It is my opinion that a CERT/CSIRT webpage shouldn't be a JavaScript minefield. -ferg

Update: 12:45 PDT: WARNING: Yes, the site is still hosting malicious content at this time.
