WARNING: Fake VirusTotal site serving trojan and fake AV


My friend and co-admin at MalwareDomainList just alerted me to a site impersonating VirusTotal, for the purposes (surprise surprise) of infecting unwitting victims with both a fake AV and a trojan.

I've sent an e-mail to my friend Ross at Dot.tk, to have the .tk domain taken out, and will be getting in touch with the host and registrar, for the site it's pointing to, but in the meantime, you can read the details on this over at the MDL forums;

new-virustotal.tk
readman.pf-control.de/java/
readman.pf-control.de/java/signedapplet.jar
readman.pf-control.de/java/bot.exe
