Hi All,
Something odd happened today at work. Not really Fox related. ... In the cache folder a file called passwords.txt contains 30,000 passwords which are clearly the most common passwords (123456, password, etc). It also contains words like 'motherfucker'. There are other files with common male/female names and TV shows.
So apparently googlemaps.co.uk redirects you to google maps and attempts a dictionary attack on your Google account. Nice!
You need a program to do a dictionary attack. I wonder whether the program was written in Javascript, loaded when you load googlemaps.co.uk ... Did your virus scanner sound an alert?
