Hackers located in Russia have been using a gas company named “GazTranzitStroyInfo LLC” have been using this as a front. They’ve been exploiting web-browsers with the famous exploit known as “Zeus”. Zeus can exploit browsers on a large scale, so stay updated! Due to the fact their hosting is offshore, security professionals are unable to shut down most of their websites, as the hosting company may not comply in the same language, or even at all.
Due to the fact webbrowser security is not very great right now because of new exploits like Zeus being published at a rapid rate; it is smart to stay updated for your computer will be less vulnerable to attacks.
More and more black-hat organization’s are being founded, almost on a daily basis. It seems as if 50% or more are located in Russia. Currently, our only way to keep everybody secure, is by helping you all out with common computer knowledge, and hopefully giving you some basic pointers that should save you from getting your identity, information, or money stolen.

My blog was recently “attacked” by some hackers, and thanks to GoogleAnalytics I was able to follow the sorce to… yeah, Russia! I wonder why such a high % of these attacks comes from the same country?
I was able to get rid of the viruses they implemented on my site. But I think it´s good that people talk about it to make others aware!
