Shoutwire.com Serving Up Trojan Javascript

38 votes

fvrit.com — Early yesterday morning I was browsing shoutwire.com and OneCare notified me of two Trojan JavaScript's that tried to run. I closed the browser, let OneCare clean them and didn't think a lot about it.

  2. @jansie I can remember back years ago (very early 90's) that such things were never heard of and many people left their FTP sites wide open. Open door policy, now it is lock it down ASAP or be taken over by the bad guys.
