Utilizing the very best in ‘malicious economies of scale’ concepts, cybercriminals have recently released a privilege-escalating Web-controlled mass iFrame embedding platform that’s not just relying on compromised FTP/SSH accounts, but also automatically gains root access on the affected servers in an attempt to target each and every site hosted there.
