A vulnerability has be found in Splunk 4.0 - 4.3 that allows partial confidentiality and integrity violation, when a user click on a specifically crafted link that can disclose sensitive information to the attacker. Splunk recommend consumers upgrade to version 4.3.1 and to follow its hardening standard [3] to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Recently, I noticed a remarkable decrease in remote file inclusion attacks against my web servers. Usually, I easily detected 100+ attacks per day using a simple regular expression match. These days, I see maybe a dozen (and they are usually only 2-3 distinct "attacks" meaning different exploits or different attackers.

The number of vulnerabilities exploited also decreased a lot, with many of the older vulnerabilities being no longer probed. 

Have all vulnerable systems been exploited or cleaned up? These attacks where never very effective, and a lot of exploits used would not have been successful even against vulnerable systems. In addition, the attacks where usually launched blindly without recognizance, leading to a lot of hits to non existent pages.

For the few attacks still out there, the pattern doesn't have changed much. I checked out a couple of the payloads and they are either simple indicators or PHP IRC bots.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
