2M New Websites a Year Compromised To Serve Malware

Posted by kdawson on from the wave-upon-wave dept.

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."

    Your worthless headlines that are not news. Keith Dawson, why not just go and run in front of a train? It would be better for me, better for you, and better for this site that you make useless.

    I am tired of all of the mistakes and worthless banter that you post on an hourly basis. GO AWAY.

  2. If every Nigger got hit with a hammer by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    the world would be a better place. I mean look at it pragmatically. They're niggers. They aren't getting any stupider. It'd benefit the economy in a lot of ways too. Imagine all the Dead Nigger Storage and hammer shops opening up. We could make YouTube mashups of niggers being hammered to the song HammerTime. If you're too much of a pussy to hit them in the head just hit them in the balls. Natural selection in action.
