Conformer Products has just been alerted this morning that the United States Postal Serviced website has become a victim of one of the more robust viruses called “Blackhole” that is well designed to evade antivirus detection and get onto as many end user machines as possible.
Specifically, the “Rapid Information Bulletin System” (RIBBS) pages on the U.S. Postal Service’s website have been infected where anyone visiting these pages would be infected. Normally, these pages are designed to provide end users visiting the site with intelligent mail services like tracking and logistics information. This obviously applies to users of Conformer mailers and envelopes using the U.S. Postal Service.
According to Dark Reading, a trusted security industry blog, the infected site was identified by Michael Sutton, vice president of research at Zscaler, who alerted the USPS now addressing the issue.
If you would like to learn more about the technical details of this virus, we encourage you to read more on Zscaler’s blog.
