Over 9000 domains infected with spyware

A few days ago, in response to questions by one of our largest customers, we analyzed a widget by Network Solutions, confirmed that it was infected, and published the last blog "SMCI widget and growsmartbusiness.com by Network Solutions still serving malware."

It was actually a report that we wrote for this customer, to assure them that although other detection mechanisms aren't flagging, that we are rightfully flagging these pages as malicious.

Soon after publishing the blog, we realized that it was the same widget that got the boingboing.com parked domain infected, which we blogged about back in May.

Yesterday I had some time to sit down and study this widget further, and discovered something critical--it's a part of the standard domain parking page of Network Solutions.

And so, just how many domains (not pages) are currently affected and serving malware?

Silly network solutions for letting this happen. They are actually one of the biggest, yet worse registrars out there. I don't even know how they are still around.
