More sites entangled in cyber crooks' malware-spreading espionage campaign     



From V3:

Nine more websites have fallen victim to a sophisticated cyber attack targeting a zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 (IE8).

AlienVault reported uncovering at least another nine hijacked legitimate websites being used by hackers to spread espionage-focused malware.

"We have found that the US Department of Labor website wasn't the only entity affected and we can confirm that at least nine other websites were redirecting to the malicious server at the same time," wrote AlienVault's Jaime Blasco.
