New good news comming!, New vulnerability is made to infect Internet, here are more details:
Nowadays it is usually taken for granted that we can only get infected if we visit malicious websites or run files coming from untrustworthy sources. However, lately we have detected several cases in which by exploiting vulnerabilities in the web servers malicious code can be introduced in the websites hosted in them.
Therefore, we might come across trustworthy websites which contain malicious code introduced by a cyber-crook.
The following is one piece of code we found introduced in certain websites:
This malicious script of the web, known as iframe, contains instructions that will be interpreted by the browser, redirecting it to a web or to the downloading of a malicious file.
