2M New Websites a Year Compromised To Serve Malware
SkiifGeek writes "Sophos claims that they are detecting 6,000 new sites daily that have been compromised to serve malware to unsuspecting site visitors, with 80% of site owners not aware that they have been compromised — though this figure is probably on the low side. With increasingly vocal arguments being put forward by security experts criticizing the performance and capability of site validation tools (though many of these experts offer their own tools and services for similar capabilities), and rising levels of blended attacks, perhaps it is time you reviewed the security of your site and what might be hiding in infrequently used directories."
Even better. When a server is compromised, it will burst into flames, burning down the entire data center it's hosted in. You know, just in case the virus spread.
Somebody should warn 3M that they are next. I'm sure they would want to prepare. Ok, sorry I'll get my coat.
I don't have a microwave. I do, however, have a clock that occasionally cooks shit.
