Bayflicks Hijacked and Technical Problems

~ Lincoln Spector

I came back from vacation to discover the bayflicks.net web site hijacked I believe the hijacking happened on Saturday, June 14. I removed it today.

If you’ve visited the site in the last week, and have a Windows-based PC, it’s possible that your computer is infected with Trojan-Downloader.JS.Agent downloader. You can read up on it at http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan-downloader_js_agent_d.shtml.

What else can you do about it? See my article Scan for Malware With Online Tools for some suggestions.

I’ll have more details when I can get them.

In the meantime, I’m altering and fixing the site’s technical code to keep this from happening again. If everything looks funny–well, I’m trying to fix it.
