Mar 31 2008 - "Websense Security Labs has been tracking the use of Slide.com as a hosting site for malware for several months. The popular Web 2.0 social networking Web site, ranked 252 by Alexa (Alexa Ranking), is both the largest Facebook application developer and a free and easy place to host malware. Having tracked the various ways malware is hosted on the site, it appears most popular with attackers targeting Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking audiences. We have seen targeted attacks with fake YouTube email lures in Portuguese that link to malware hosted on Slide.com.... We have also been tracking several Trojans that connect and download more malware from Slide.com. The Trojans connect to a Web site to read a config file, and then download more malware. The malware is then spread via email. Many of the email messages include links to malware hosted at Slide.com... Apparently, Slide.com does not check file types uploaded to the site. On a Slide.com page that hosts malware, the malware is served as "Content-Type: image/jpeg". The Linux file command, however, identifies the file as "MS-DOS executable PE .... PECompact2 compressed"."
