Let’s Ban India!

Or at least the India Times

Visitors to IndiaTimes.com, a major English-language Indian news site, risk infecting their computers with a deluge of malware, according to Mary Landesman, senior security researcher at ScanSafe.

“It’s an entire cocktail of downloader Trojans and dropper Trojans,” Landesman said Friday, putting the number of malicious files involved at 434. This includes scripts, binaries, cookies, and images.

Landesman characterized the size of the malicious payload as unusually large. She also noted that the attack involved a large number of Web sites. Analyzing just two of the binaries, she said that ScanSafe had identified at least 18 different IP addresses involved in the attack.

And India has my little site, along with 17 others, on the official banned list? Technically, while the order is not being enforced, it was never rescinded.
