Website of Chef Jamie Oliver yet again Infected with Malware

According to Malwarebytes the security company, Jamie Oliver the renowned chef in UK has had his website JamieOliver.com once again infected and accessed with the use of malware.

The attack on Oliver's website is third after the two that targeted during February and March in 2015.

Food lovers who accessed JamieOliver.com on 9th May 2015 possibly got contaminated with malicious program that stole passwords, says Malwarebytes. Besides, since the attack chain was certain drive-by infection, any kind of user interaction was unnecessary for becoming contaminated.

The earlier attacks also relied on the same technique wherein browsing the site's page would result in one malevolent diversion onto the Fiesta attack toolkit. Following different exploits being utilized for hacking into the victim's system, the malware produced last steals apparently several thousand log-ins of shopping, banking, e-mail websites, to name some, of the user stored inside his Web-browser.

And for this financially-destructive compromise to come to a halt, it would be necessary to isolate else eliminate the malware from the victim's computer.

There's more to the latest assault: it makes a bid for eluding detection. Accordingly, the malicious code gets planted onto the hijacked computer system's Windows registry in which vital details regarding the installed software and hardware are included. Then with the aid of garbled language, the file is made unreadable, consequently, non-identifiable to anti-virus solutions.

Furthermore, Malwarebytes reported about the team taking up the task of Oliver's online site as recognizing the problem followed with adopting measures for correcting it and never getting it back. Naturally, nobody responsible for any website approved having malware return from time-to-time. Malicious program targeting websites wasn't the same beast that targeted Windows computers, Malwarebytes concluded. Techweekeurope.co.uk published this, May 13, 2015.

And at the end of it all, with no alert issued about the malware attack on the regular media channels of Jamie Oliver, at least Graham Cluley Independent Security Blogger was infuriated. He wrote that the team taking up Jamie Oliver's site operation had repeatedly discovered itself victimized that somewhat raised the doubt to what extent the team was likely to adequately stop one more re-occurrence, thus published techweekeurope.co.uk.
