In response to several regardings the spreading of the Bofra virus, it is not correct. It was not the work of a virus but a carefully planned hack.
I am surprised nobody seems to care about the load balancer which allegedly was compromised to redirect the users to the infected site. Your site quotes the load balancer in question to be of "type FLB02/CP", but I can find no information of load balancers of the type on the web. Do you have some information about this load balancer and the exploit used to attack it? Regards, Florian
