New York Times Serves Up Some Malware

[RockX]

Here’s a front page story the New York Times (NYT) would rather not be running: The paper is warning readers to be aware of bogus ads running on its Web site.

The paper says “some readers” have seen unauthorized pop-up ads promoting antivirus software on NYTimes.com, and warns visitors who see the ad not to click on it but to restart their browsers instead. While the Times doesn’t spell this out, it has likely had its site hijacked by a “malware” scammer who is trying to trick visitors into installing pernicious software onto their hard drives.

They seemed to dissappear shortly after the AOHellers showed up.

Nah, our trolls have sucked ever since the 2007 New Year's site shut-down by SR of FP.com. When we came back, trolls (or at least, multi accounts on the same IP Address) had been abolished, and there was talk of the upcoming FPSC.
