Identifying the Source of the Infinity Exploit Kit Infection
The documentation and advertisements associated with the Infinity Exploit Kit are all in Russian. The threat author is known by his online pseudonyms 'iny' and 'pickness' and PC security researchers suspect that the Infinity Exploit Kit originates in Eastern Europe, in a Russian-speaking country. The Infinity Exploit Kit author has a high reputation among ill-minded persons and frequenters of underground forums. After the arrest of the creator of the Black Hole Exploit Kit, it is telling that the author of the Infinity Exploit Kit is highly secretive, and access to the Infinity Exploit Kit is highly restricted and usually only through private communications. Although most exploit kits that are used today are variants of the infamous Back Hole attack, new contenders like the Infinity Exploit Kit are starting to gain ground.
