According to researchers at ScanSafe, a new iFrame injection is pointing once again to gumblar.cn -- the malware domain that originally earned Gumblar its name. "The domain's reactivation occurred less than 24 hours ago, but it has ramifications that could stretch back for months," said ScanSafe researcher Gregg Conklin, in a blog. "Any sites compromised in the May Gumblar attacks that were not yet cleaned up (unfortunately an all-to-common occurrence) could now start becoming vectors of Gumblar infection once again. This is in addition to new compromises pointing to the newly-activated gumblar.cn and the already very active Gumblar compromises which are using compromised websites as malware hosts."
