FTFA: "According to a list obtained by Security Fix, hackers have infected at least 200 sites, many of which you would not normally expect to associate with such attacks (i.e., porn and pirated-software vendors). "
So, it wasnt pr0n. But c'mon, couldnt he check the history and let others know?
This brings up a point, why should Sourcefire sacrifice its profits/capital gain for National security? Would they be compensated monetarily for having lost this deal, because of not trade sanctions or rules, but national security. And who gets to decide what is safe for US and what is not? When big coprporations who have lobbying power get port deals (not flamebait, just comparison as its fresh in memory) and they arent seen as national threat, then how come this is. And someone has rightly pointed, this being open source.
reminds me of a toon at a local newspaper here:
scene: night time, husband and wife in bed (please dont stretch your imaginations)
Husband: ah, now that we know for sure that the Dubai company isnt handling the US ports, I can get a sound sleep.
Wife: Yes, Its good and heartening that the DHS still oversees security.
They pause, give a shocked and scared-to-death look.
..because instead of just the discovery team, now the whole world knows the hole.
True, but atleast it allows one to take precautions. In this case, instead of being the oblivious IE user, the user can atleast turn Active Scripts off to avoid any unforeseeable danger.
They just separated a separate "finance" section by channeling queries and news to it. Maybe this and google wallet might work together and something big happens.
