“Netizens are no longer playing Russian Roulette each time they visit a Web site, security researchers say, now that a far-reaching Internet attack has been defanged. The attack, which had turned some Web sites into points of digital infection was nipped in the bud on Friday, when Internet engineers managed to shut down a Russian server that had been the source of malicious code for the attack. Compromised Web sites are still attempting to infect Web surfers’ PCs by referring them to the server in Russia, but that computer can no longer be reached. Still, Web surfers should still take care, as this type of attack is increasingly being used by the Internet underground as a way to get by network defenses and infect officer workers’ and home users’ computers. “
