More malware on Web sites
Normally legitimate sites continue to be hijacked and infected with malware. It’s all part of a growing problem with JavaScript. Gregg Keizer reports at Computerworld:
Large numbers of legitimate Web sites, including government sites in the U.K. and some operated by the United Nations, have been hacked and are serving up malware, a security researcher said today as massive JavaScript attacks last detected in March resume.
It’s getting to the point where I am putting up with the inconvenience of disabling JavaScript (and it is inconvenient). Fortunately, the extension “No Script” for the Firefox browser allows for control over individual sites. Still, you don’t know who to trust anymore.
More details are at Websense.
