Source of infection, which may have been aimed at stealing financial data, shut down
Web surfers are no longer playing Russian roulette each time they visit a Web site, security researchers said Friday after a far-reaching Internet attack had been disarmed.
The attack, which turned some corporate Web sites into points of digital infection, was halted Friday when Internet engineers managed to shut down a Russian server that had been the source of malicious code. Compromised Web sites are still trying to infect Web surfers' PCs by redirecting them to the server in Russia, but that computer can no longer be reached.
