Cracked.com Found Serving Up Comedy...and Malware
207Vistors to Cracked.com in the early part of November may have malicious malware installed on their systems without ever knowing! Barracuda Labs discovered the comedy site was hosting a drive-by download of malware, found in malicious javascript.
The problem seems to have been stemmed for now, but if you saw a certain pop-up advisory, you may have been a victim. Google has flagged the site as dangerous before...will the problem resurface later? Kim Horcher and Tim Frisch discuss.
