Running mozilla 1.6. Nothing showed up here as your assuming.

Hi Nicola,

It's not a zip file, not an applet, but a plain EXE file. Seems
compressed somehow, no time to figure it out now. Dunno why Mozilla
runs this (I don't like it).

If something showed up in your status bar, you should definitely assume
your box was compromised.

Take care out there,
Erik

ok, and the html of the index page is as following:

<html><body bgcolor=white link=#ffffff vlink=#ffffff alink=#ffffff>
<h2>SERVER ERROR 550</h2>
<applet ARCHIVE="javautil.zip" CODE="BlackBox.class" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1></applet></body></html>

now, the "SERVER ERROR 550" is clearly a fake - the java applet below
just starts fine. strangely, the 'javautil.zip' is not a valid zip-file,
yet 'appletviewer' and mozilla (don't know about MS IE; too dangerous :)
happily start the applet without any hickups or exceptions and mozilla
states 'Applet BlackBox started' in the status bar.

is there anybody knowledgable interested in un-zipping, de-compiling and
analysing this surely malicious applet? I would like to know what
mozilla just executed on my behalf there... :(

FYI, the file 'javautil.zip' attached is directly taken from the site
mentioned above.

regards
nicola
