Slashdot Mirror
jQuery.com Compromised To Serve Malware
An anonymous reader writes jQuery.com, the official website of the popular cross-platform JavaScript library of the same name, had been compromised and had been redirecting visitors to a website hosting the RIG exploit kit and, ultimately, delivering information-stealing malware. While any website compromise is dangerous for users, this one is particularly disconcerting because of the demographic of its users, says James Pleger, Director of Research at RiskIQ.
did I just hear some relevent news on slashdot before i saw it on twitter?

THL phish sticks
it is illogical to lie and claim that it was compromised to serve malware. It was compromised to serve an additional malware. That is what happened. The headline uses Republican style logic. The only thing it didn't do was talk about how much the jQuery creators hate their users by spewing out such garbage that they shove down the throats of users. They are horrible people.
