CBS Website Bitten by iFrame Hack

John E. Dunn writes on Techworld:

TV network CBS has become the latest big name to have it website used to host malware, a security company has reported.

It appears that Russian malware distributors were able to launch another iFrame attack on a sub-domain of the cbs.com site so that it was serving remote malware to any visitors.

A user's vulnerability to the malware attack launched by the site hack would depend on a number of factors, including the type of security used on a PC, the operating system, and possibly the browser version.
