Faux Google Website Hides Trojan Horse
Short article discussing another example of a browser based infection technique. Some of the important general and common themes include:
a. Browser security features don't work that well
b. the exploit was poorly written so it won't work either
c. but it proves it can be done for someone else to try
An interesting little idea thrown in also; Quoted from the article:
"More recently, a Trojan attacked the companyÂs adsense advertisements, replacing them, in-browser, with fake ones on any PC infected with the malware."
I just thought adsense was annoying, now that I have tuned it out for the most part, there is a reason to have to pay attention to it again. Rats.
