今週初めにウイルス辞典が外からハッキングされた

Earlier this week, we realized that part of our public online Virus Encyclopedia (VE) was altered via external hacking.
The redirect placed on our site didn’t work properly so nobody visiting the hacked pages was at risk of infection.

インシデントをもとに、まずウイルス辞典をシャット団して、システムにパッチを適用し、挿入されたコードを削除した

との事。このインシデントは世界で広く攻撃されているものと同じ攻撃だそうです。

In response to this incident, we shut down the VE for several hours, patched the systems, removed the inserted code, and brought it back to life again. We have already taken interim measures to further harden the VE system against future attacks. This incident was part of a wider attack on Web sites around the world.
