Source text - English Five-exploit tool kit includes code aimed at Image Uploader ActiveX control
February 23, 2008 (Computerworld) Hackers are actively exploiting an Internet Explorer plug-in that's widely used by Facebook Inc. and MySpace.com members with a multi-attack kit, a security company warned Friday.
The exploit directed at Aurigma Inc.'s Image Uploader, an ActiveX control used by Facebook, MySpace and other social networking sites to allow members to upload photos to their profiles, is just one of five in a new hacker tool kit being used by several Chinese attack sites, said Symantec Corp.
Attacks begin when users receive spam or an instant message with an embedded link, said Darren Kemp, the Symantec analyst who authored the advisory. The link takes users to a bogus MySpace log-in page, which tries to steal members' credentials as it also silently probes the their computers for vulnerabilities in Uploader, Apple Inc.'s QuickTime, Windows and Yahoo Music Jukebox.

Translation - Spanish Grupo de herramientas que explota vulnerabilidades incluye código dirigido a los controles ActiveX que cargan imágenes
23 de febrero de 2008 (Computerworld). Piratas informáticos están explotando una vulnerabilidad en un complemento del navegador Internet Explorer que usan los miembros de las comunidades de Facebook Inc. y MySpace.com con un equipo de herramientas de ataques multiples, advirtió una compañía de servicios de seguridad el viernes.
La vulnerabilidad afecta el complemento Image Uploader de la compañía Aurigma Inc., un control de ActiveX usado por Facebook, MySpace y otras páginas de grupos sociales que permite que los miembros añadan fotos a sus perfiles, es solo una de cinco herramientas piratas nuevas siendo usadas por varios sitios de ataques informáticos en China según la compañía Symantec Corp.
Los ataques comienzan cuando usuarios reciben correos no solicitados o un mensaje instantáneo con un enlace integrado, según Darren Kemp un analista de Symantec y autor del aviso. El enlace lleva a los usuarios a una página falsa de entrada a MySpace que roba los credenciales del miembro mientras también escudriña sus computadoras en búsqueda de vulnerabilidades en programas como Uploader, QuickTime de Apple Inc., Windows y Yahoo Music Jukebox.
