Research firm finds ads spreading trojans

August 19th, 2007

A security firm, SecureWorks, has identified ads spreading trojans. Apparently the ads have specifically targeted job sites. Sadly they haven’t posted any details on the actual advertisement that is causing the trouble — I have sent them an email requesting some more details and hopefully they’ll respond and I’ll post the details of the ads here.
