Throwback Threat Thursday: Joomla GoogleMaps Plugin SEO Spam Injection
When our tools don’t automatically detect and clean malicious code, that’s when we start our investigation process—and the majority of these research findings end up on the blog or as a Labs note.
However, other times we update our tools to automatically detect and remediate the malware, then stash the code sample in our zoo along with some research notes… And there it stays, gathering dust, spiderwebs, and other nasty stuff.
Revisiting those old notes and malicious code samples to re-evaluate them is not only a good research exercise, but also interesting to share.
