OK, if Childs is behind this, fry him: if he isn't, fry them. Finjan reported Wednesday that the city of San Francisco Web site was one of over 1,000 sites treating visitors to malicious code. Vulnerable users got a Trojan loaded onto their machines that tries to join them to the Asprox botnet, a smaller botnet that began expanding in May. The SFgov site is apparently fixed. The deputy director of San Franciscos department of telecommunications and information services said the city detected and fixed the problem. He said SFGov was vulnerable over the last weekend in June. He does not know how many people visited the site, but said no city employees machines were affected.
