INFO: ZUKIWORLD and iZook websites hacked on 4/3/2011..
« on: April 04, 2011, 04:00:06 PM »
Over the weekend the servers that house the ZUKIWORLD and iZook websites experienced a virus/hack. Most all webpages and scripts were infected with a malicious script (malware). We have restored the site and have taken steps to reduce if not eliminate future issues.

If you used ZUKIWORLD or iZook over the weekend, please use your virus scanner and check your computer. Below is a summary from Google of what hacks took place to help identify an infection.

Safe Browsing - Diagnostic page for zukiworld.com
Of the 102 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 8 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2011-04-04, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2011-04-04.
Malicious software includes 35 scripting exploit(s), 1 trojan(s). Successful infection resulted in an average of 3 new process(es) on the target machine.

Malicious software is hosted on 6 domain(s), including scannantivisettlement.com/, solomon-xl.cz.cc/, scannerantivonline.com/.

3 domain(s) appear to be functioning as intermediaries for distributing malware to visitors of this site, including khcol.com/, chantier.ci/, scannantivirincnew.com/.

This site was hosted on 1 network(s) including AS32869 (SILVERSTAR).


We want to say thank you to everyone that helped alert us of the situation and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Eric, I noticed this random problem on Sat I think, I just thought it was an error because I visit all the time and I
know that ZW is not a dangerous site, but I also noticed
another site loading content, but chalked that up to the new
sites being added recently.

I have seemed to of lost all of the formatting that is normal
on the site, is this due to the hacking or is my browser acting goofy ?

Thanks
Darrin

The format, feel, and look should be the same.. If Zukiworld looks different to you know, something may be different on your end.

All of a sudden the pages started to load normally, and the
warning window stopped popping up too, must of been the
browser protection kicking in destroying the formatting

If you ever need to do a virus scan, 
1. google / download Vipre Rescue,
2. reboot your PC,
3. press F8 right before Windows starts to load,
4. choose "Safe Mode"'
5. run the Vipre Rescue file that you just downloaded
6. Let it clean anything it finds.

If anyone has any questions, let me know and I will help.  I own an IT consulting company and viruses piss me off as much as the person that gets them.

My daughter had the exact same attack on her lap top from a different web site. Thankfully she knew better than to click on anything without asking me.

Yup hackers absolutely piss me off because of exactly what ecoast said...no purpose served and only headaches for people.  I absolutely hate people that do this for fun, mess with other people just to be pricks. 
Go get a life you bastards!  Stop spending all your time at a computer making other people's lives miserable!
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain number of things.  Right now I am so far behind, I will never die.
