According to the report... ...legitimate blogs are being hacked, with fake entries being added. These fake entries feature links to booby-trapped downloads that could infect a Windows PC.

The spam messages have been changed to capitalise on news events and the viral payload has been updated many times to fool anti-virus programs. The group suspected to be behind this attack has executed a series of attacks throughout this year. The BBC reports that Some suspect that the group has infected more than one million PCs over the last eight months.
