"The attacker uploaded a small file with JavaScript to infected Web sites, and altered the web server configuration to append the script to all files served by the web server," the center alert warned.

If a user visited an infected site, the JavaScript delivered by the site would instruct the user's browser to download an executable from a Russian Web site and install it, the alert added.  

"These Trojan horse programs include keystroke loggers, proxy servers and other back doors providing full access to the infected system."

The center believes the attack is the work of a sophisticated international spam ring.
