<<Websense Security Labs announced it has discovered that the Google Web site hosting service "Google Pages" is hosting malicious code.

The company said that so far it has not received any report of a lure for the sites within email or Instant Messaging linking to this site or exploit code downloading it, however it may either be in the setup phase or not be widely distributed yet.

The site is hosted on the same IP address as the main http://googlepages.com site. The file is packed with ASPack and is a banking Trojan Horse, which is designed to steel banking credentials upon visiting pre-defined financial institutions sites.>>
