Chinese Security Site Under New Kind of Attack

SkiifGeek writes "The main site for the Chinese Internet Security Response Team (CISRT) has been serving up infrequent attacks against site visitors through the use of an injected IFRAME tag that attempts to download and install numerous pieces of malicious software. While the source of the attack has yet to be identified, suspicion is that it might be an ARP attack being hosted by the CISRT's hosting provider. Rather than a straight-up infection attempt against all site visitors (as was the case with the Bank of India hack), it is an interesting evolution to see intermittent attack attempts against site visitors."

    Nothing is secure. There are more secure and less secure things, but nothing can be 100% secure. It all depends of the who is installing and configuring, if you got some adware I'm sure you are the one to be blamed somehow. Sometimes things are not what they appear to be.

    Guess what, you insufferable nincompoops? Our government is itself the product of a market system. Cities like New York, London, and San Francisco are successful precisely *because* of their enormous governments--they compete for capital, talent, and prestige against cities with small, ineffectual governments that are unable to effectively lure and corral said capital, talent, and prestige. And as goes the city, so go city-states and nations: Somalia, being a libertarian paradise, is a rather unpleasant place to live for non-ideologues. Somalians, those who can, vote with their feet and leave.

    Now go suckle Ayn Rand's rotten tits some more and leave the rest of us alone, you stupid fucking Paultards.
