IDG News Service - A piece of malware designed to launch brute-force password guessing attacks against websites built with popular content management systems like WordPress and Joomla has started being used to also attack email and FTP servers.
The malware is known as Fort Disco and was documented in August by researchers from DDoS mitigation vendor Arbor Networks who estimated that it had infected over 25,000 Windows computers and had been used to guess administrator account passwords on over 6,000 WordPress, Joomla and Datalife Engine websites.
Once it infects a computer, the malware periodically connects to a command and control (C&C) server to retrieve instructions, which usually include a list of thousands of websites to target and a password that should be tried to access their administrator accounts.
The Fort Disco malware seems to be evolving, according to a Swiss security researcher who maintains the Abuse.ch botnet tracking service. "Going down the rabbit hole, I found a sample of this particular malware that was brute-forcing POP3 instead of WordPress credentials," he said Monday in a blog post.
The Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) allows email clients to connect to email servers and retrieve messages from existing accounts.
The C&C server for this particular Fort Disco variant responds with a list of domain names accompanied by their corresponding MX records (mail exchanger records). The MX records specify which servers are handling email service for those particular domains.
The C&C server also supplies a list of standard email accounts -- usually admin, info and support -- for which the malware should try to brute force the password, the Abuse.ch maintainer said.

Spurs fans persist with 'Yid' chant
8:50pm Sunday 6th October 2013 in National News Press Association 2013
Thousands of Tottenham Hotspur fans have defied police warnings not to use the word ''Yid'' in chants.
The Spurs faithful chanted "We'll sing what we want" and "Yid Army" at the game against West Ham United at White Hart Lane, north London.
One Tottenham fan was arrested after t he Metropolitan Police pledged they would be "on the look out" for football supporters who used the word and Chief Superintendent Mick Johnson, the match commander, insisted that "racism and offensive language have no place in football".
Officers spoke about the issue with fans on their way into the stadium.
The club has a strong Jewish following and its fans have been on the receiving end of anti-Semitic abuse from opposition supporters for many years.
In an act of defiance, some started using the word ''Yid'' themselves.
At the game home fans hailed their own star players by shouting ''Yiddo'' at them. ''Jermain Defoe, he's a Yiddo'' was often heard throughout the match.
On one occasion when Spurs fans sang ''Yids'', West Ham supporters responded with loud shouts of ''Racists! Racists!''

Fans defy police with 'yid' chant

Tottenham Hotspur fans have defied police warnings not to use the word "Yid" in chants.
The Metropolitan Police said they would be "on the look out" for football supporters who used the word during today's home match against West Ham United at White Hart Lane, north London.
Chief Superintendent Mick Johnson, the match commander, insisted before the fixture that "racism and offensive language have no place in football".
The Tottenham supporters chanted "We'll sing what we want" and "Yid Army" as the teams emerged for the game which began at 4pm.
The club has a strong Jewish following as its fans have been on the receiving end of anti-Semitic abuse from opposition supporters for many years.
In an act of defiance, some started using the word ''Yid'' themselves, and chants of ''Yids'', ''Yid Army'' and ''Yiddos'' are regularly sung at matches.
Mr Johnson said: " This topic has been debated at length but our position is clear: racism and offensive language have no place in football or indeed in society.
"Those supporters who engage in such behaviour should be under no illusion that they may be committing an offence and may be liable to a warning or be arrested."

Fans defy police with 'yid' chant
The Met Police has warned fans heading to this weekend's Premier League clash between Spurs and West Ham they may face arrest if they chant the Y-word.
One Tottenham Hotspur supporter has been arrested for allegedly using the Y-word in chants at today's home game.
He was held on suspicion of committing a section 5 public order offence at half time in the stadium's East Stand.
Tottenham Hotspur fans have defied police warnings not to use the Y-word in chants.
The Metropolitan Police said they would be "on the look out" for football supporters who used the word during today's home game against West Ham at White Hart Lane.
The Spurs supporters chanted "We'll sing what we want" and "Yid Army" at this afternoon's match.
The Met said that as of 5pm, no arrests had yet been made. Officers had been speaking about the issue with fans on their way into the stadium.
I'm at West Ham United to talk to Sam Allardyce about the Met Police announcement that those caught using the Y-word at Spurs on Sunday could face arrest.
Sam Allardyce says: "You've got to be very aware about what you choose to chant and what you choose to sing. If they're made aware of it, you've got no excuse. It's something that our society is hugely involved in. Support the team, support the lads on the field, and forget about everything else.
"It is very important that those who use the word suffer the consequences."
