Who can you trust?
Last week, the New York Times discovered that an ad on a Times site was serving up malware; this week the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) has been hit. Ryan Naraine reports at ZDNet:
Some sections of the popular PBS.org Web site have been hijacked by hackers serving up a cocktail of dangerous exploits.
According to researchers at Purewire, attempts to access certain PBS Web site pages yielded JavaScript that serves exploits from a malicious domain via an iframe.
The malicious JavaScript was found on the “Curious George” page that provides content on the popular animation series.
It seems that, no matter where you go on the Web, you’d better assume there is potential danger.
