Neowin web site compromised


hacker1 If you have visited Neowin over the past couple of days, and are running IE6 or earlier without antivirus or antispyware protection, or if your antivirus or antivirus protection is out of date, or you are running your Web browser (any version) with lowered security settings, I strongly advise that you check your system for possible infection by malware.

I was surprised to see an email a short while ago on a private anti-spyware mailing list from Mike Burgess of MVP HOSTS FILE fame asking if anybody on the list had direct contacts at Neowin net because he had discovered that the neowin site had been hacked and an iframe exploit embedded in neowin pages that tried to infect visitors with a new java byte-verify and/or general java trojan downloader.

Further investigation revealed that an iframe had been inserted in the page that was redirecting to encoded javascript. Spyware Sucks : Neowin web site compromised - visitors at risk from malware infection via iframe attack
