Skoda website hacked?

Featured Replies

Just a cautionary note to everyone here. www.skoda.co.uk appears to have been compromised. When I visited it today, it attempted to download banner ads and a trojan horse EXE.

Weird I got a garbled message about buying a sony ericsson PDA phone at the bottom of the screen :D

Looks ok here.

Yep no problems here too. Perhaps something outwidth the Skoda site?

Fine here as well, just checked :)

It's just past midday, and I get the same virus warnings too.

Doesn't look good like. :thumbdwn:

Fine here :D

It's okay for me too - still dull:D

Presumably everyone who says it's fine has up to date and active AV software installed? :confused:

My AV is going mad with skoda.co.uk - trojansRus!

Fine here

no problems.

Yep, sitting behind 2 firewals, with fully up to date and active AV :D

Running Norton System Works 2005 Premier and get a Virus Warning, and it tries to Download SERVER.EXE as get the same last night and today on Barclaycards Web Site in UK.

They have a 1x1 pixel image served from doubleclick.net which is for advertising/tracking - it might be that doubleclick has been compromised somehow?

No warnings here, although Sophos has never warned me about anything before, so I doubt it's going to start now...

as @ 13:20 no probs (have fully updated AV + spybot + spyware baster).

In that case -

1. Who is your ISP?

2. Are you behind a proxy server?

3. When you ping the server, what is the IP address. If it is different from what we are getting, something is redirecting you :(

I was at work at the time - no ISP as such - just a super fast NHS net connection. ;)

Network firewall alerted the techies who came flying over to see what the problem was. Sophos also went beserk. *Several* trojan horses in temporary internet files from the skoda website.

We have informed them, only they said "We will endeavour to respond in 3-5 days"... greaaat :rolleyes:

I've no firewall or AV installed, no problems for me.

Yet. ;)

Nothing unusual to report here either....

Neither Avast on the laptop, nor AVG on the Desktop report anything suspect, and the usual spyware detectors show all-clear.

Sygate firewall on both machines hasn't squawked either.

All clear here, running Sygate firewall, NOD32 (AV), Process Guard and Wormguard all real time.

I've no firewall or AV installed, no problems for me.

With all due respect , you wouldnt know because you have nothing to tell you of any problems.

Not the best thing to do with the net.

No problems for me with that site. BUT a few minutes ago my PC blocked some form of download.exe Trojan I had never heard of.

Could be in for a nasty shock if any AV prog is ever installed on that machine :eek:

agreed, someone at work brought their home pc to work because it was going slowly. The pc had no virus or firewall software installed, so we installed our works software and manually updated the definitions. A full scan found no less than 20 viruses on the machine, most of them were of the type that emailed itself everywhere. Then we ran adaware on the pc and removed at least 15 bits of spyware and ad popup software.

Another user at work hooked up their new pc to the internet and within 1 minute was infected by a virus that shutdown his pc.

Yes, this is what's happening. I had several temp internet files with access restricted to them because of the trojan. Simple enough to clean off with Sophos like.

Happened on *every* page this lunchtime.
