Jump Virus 2.0
By Walt Webb
Do you ever wonder why there are people in the world who just want to crap in peoples cornflakes?
Are they just jealous of any success that people get through their hard work? I have recently experienced the grief from some low life hacker. Someone who works harder at screwing with other’s instead of working towards their own success.
Recently someone hacked into my sports blog “ "All Sports on the Web” . They put what is called a “Jump Trojan 2.0” into the HTML code on my site. What this malware virus does is redirect form the blog home page to some website which they have programmed into the code. It is a real bother because if you want to read the post or article on the blog it flips you to this webpage after about 5 seconds, thus making your content unreadable.
It was a real pain to cleanse my website of the hacker’s coded crap but after about 2 hours of going back through my FTP protocol, the virus was found and removed. I guess it could have been worse, the hacker could have tried to put the Trojan right on my computer and if that happens they can see any of the passwords etc, that you use online. This is the main reason why I don’t use online banking. I just don’t trust it.
So if you find that you get the jump Trojan on one of your websites. First change your password, then go into your user profile and make sure you’re the only one there. Then you need to go into the ftp protocol, hunt down the virus code and remove it from your website script.

I had some joker do that on my guest book once. The problem can happen where a website allows for HTML to be added to a text field. I removed the code and learned how that was done in the process. The guy had my guest book redirect to a page that said this website has been hacked. Most hosting companies block adding HTML into message boxes for that reason. Blogs would be vulnerable to this unless the hosting company blocked it. Mine now does.
Upgrading your site infrastructure to Web 2.0 compliance helps to prevent the casual hacking attempts, SQL code injection is another common threat used by would-be hackers. You can easily test you guest book and site for vulnerabilities by testing them with the following script injection. img src="javascblockedript:alert('noob')" If you get a message box saying "noob", then the page is vunerable.
