SQL Attacks delivering EXEs and SWFs

Our colleagues at SANS detailed an SQL attack overnight. An affected website contains a script tag pointing to a remote site hosting w.js
(SophosLabs have updated Mal/Badsrc-C to detect that link).

The good news is that Sophos already proactively detects the malicious payload at the end of this attack.

SophosLabs are currently looking to add detection for the intermediate pages (w.js, office.htm etc.) as well as blocking the sites for the WS1000.
