A recent post by the team at the Chinese Internet Security Response Team to
their English-language site indicates that some of the site visitors are
experiencing an attack from the CISRT.org site as a result of an injected
IFRAME tag.

Injected IFRAME tags are not a new means of using legitimate sites to
launch attacks on unsuspecting users, with a recent notable case being the
Bank of India hack. What is different in this case is that the hack is only
being served to seemingly random site visitors.

Note: I'm wondering if it is still hosting malicious content -- there is a
lot of embedded JavaScript at that site that I just don't have time right
now to examine in more detail. It is my opinion that a CERT/CSIRT webpage
shouldn't be a JavaScript minefield.
