Another Shameless SEO based on Atlanta Flooding

Users Googling "Atlanta flood pictures" receive a yet another SEO attack, using a possibly compromised legitimate Australian website hosting restaurants in the famous Bondi area.

Here's a screenshot of a google search result:
atlanta_flood_google

A Fiddler capture shows us the redirections:
atlanta_fiddle

So we go from
hxxp://idrb.com/pdf_files/atlanta-flood-pictures.html
>hxxp://06d.ru/t.php
>>hxxp://read-cnn2.com/?pid=207&sid=de9f8f
>>>hxxp://winfixscanner7.com/scan1/?pid=207&engine=pHTyzjTyMzEyOS44Mi4xOTAmdGltZT0xMjUuNgAMPAVN


An installer named Soft_207.exe will be presented for download, which is a variant of the Total Security family of Fake AVs.

At the moment, the following domains have been observed to have been involved in this attack:

winfixscanner7(dot)com
15scanner(dot)com


These domains resolve to the following IP addresses:
89.47.237.55
89.248.174.61
213.163.89.60


But knowing the trend in scareware, there could be heaps more domains being created as we speak.
