MySpace Worm Uses Fast-Flux to Dodge Detection

By omarv

MySpaceA new attack on MySpace users in June was turning their sites into bots to serve phishing scams and viruses. This new technique (called fast-flux) was used to hide malicious sites behind constantly changing network of proxy servers that make it almost impossible to track down the malicious sites

[Editor's note (Valle): This technique is similar to anti-forensic methods use by cybercriminals to hide their true origins. The main difference is that fast-flux has a larger and more rapidly changing number of proxy servers to hide behind.]
