Two Major Ad Networks Found Serving Malware

Trailrunner7 writes "Two major online ad networks — DoubleClick and MSN — were serving malware via drive-by download exploits over the last week, experts say, after a group of attackers was able to trick the networks into displaying their ads by impersonating an online advertising provider. The scheme involved a group of attackers who registered a domain that was one letter away from that of ADShuffle.com, an online advertising technology firm. The attackers then used the fake domain — ADShufffle.com — to dupe the advertising networks into serving their malicious banner ads. The ads used various exploits to install malware on victims' PCs through drive-by downloads, according to information compiled by security vendor Armorize."

Ubuntu is the same as using a taxi

Yes a taxi is a car but you don't need a license to use one.

In the same tone: OSX is like using a chauffeur driving limo (but a male chauffeur since, well... you are gay)

BSD is like driving a bike through rain and wind because you damn well will be independent of those oil companies, then have everything delivered through your home with gass guzzling van's.

OS2 is like running that CV2, the ugly duckling BUT the cheapest car to do Paris-Dakar!

DOS is like riding the wheel from the B.C. cartoon.

Windows? That is like riding a nice posh car, in the trunk while the MS mafia is driving you towards whereever they damn well want to take you.

There you are, the ULTIMATE car anology.
