Malicious Java Applet

Attackers injecting html code onto legitimate web sites has become commonplace in the past few years. More often than not, the attackers will inject a script or iframe tag on a legitimate site which is meant to redirect visitors to attack sites without their knowledge. Last week however, we discovered an outlier of that trend which was a malicious applet code injection. The injected applet allows for the code to work as a drive by attack which downloads and then executes a malicious application.
