Community member describes meta redirects

BadwareBusters.org community member Denis describes an emerging web-based malware attack over on his Unmask Parasites blog, and he is seeking additional information:
I’ve discovered a new emerging malware attack today. Actually two attacks, but in this post I’ll review only one of them – server-wide goscanpark .com/goscansoon .com meta redirects.

My research is not complete. I’d like to hear from owners of affected sites and from server admins of compromised web servers. You can probably provide missing information about the attack or correct me if something in my article is not accurate.  I’m also interested in any information about the vulnerability that makes this nasty attack possible. Any comments are welcome.
Far more information about the attack is available in his blog post.
