jQuery.com Compromised To Serve Malware

Posted by timothy on from the send-you-this-query-to-have-your-advice dept.

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.
