New watering hole attacks targeting the oil and energy sectors have been discovered. Researchers at Cisco think the attacks could be linked to similar attacks against the U.S. Department of Labor in May. Six of the 10 sites shared the same Web design firm and three of the six are owned by the same parent company. The malware used in the attacks is a Trojan that captures system configurations, as well as clipboard and keyboard data. All of the infected sites were notified and most had been cleaned up, Cisco said.
