Hackers Target Tsunami Search Results
xsee writes "Only hours after the earthquake and resulting tsunami from Chile, hackers began manipulating search results to direct people seeking information on the event to infected webpages. Exercise caution as to where you get information on this tragedy. Chester Wisniewski describes what happened after he saw a suspicious site listed second on a Google search: 'It appears to be a normal website with information and videos about different Asian tsunamis over the past few years. It is difficult to tell whether this particular page was SEO-optimized, or was an innocent victim of a malicious script. SophosLabs got back to me that this page contains some obfuscated malicious JavaScript that we detect as MAL/ObfJS-R. This script was appended after the normal code on the page.'"
...Satan is readying a room for these guys.
This ain't rocket surgery.
This is /., right? Can we please STOP calling these FUCKTARDS hackers!!!
Jesus, chill out man. Unless, you're known as Hacky McHackerton, President and CEO of Hacker, Inc., it probably doesn't affect YOU or your professional "creds" THAT much. Yeah, this is /., and we generally know what people mean regardless of verbage.
