Security vendor Trend Micro's UK and Japanese Web sites were hacked last week; attackers managed to inject malicious iFrames into their "virus encyclopaedia" pages.
Check Point claims its ForceField security product, which is due for release later this month, will not only protect against drive-by download attacks, it also allows users to discretely view porn or "buy gifts" without getting caught.
Thousands of Web sites have fallen victim to an attack using just one line of code that maliciously re-directs browsers via Javascript to servers that are hosting a variety of drive-by exploits. Multiple browsers and operating systems are affected by this code if not correctly patched.
Even security groups are not immune to malware writers: the Chinese Internet Security Response Team has apologised for occasionally serving up malicious code to visitors to its Web site.
An alleged Russian malware hosting gang has abruptly disappeared, according to security experts.
The explosion in drive-by download attacks continues to grow. How has the situation got so dangerous? Are there any "trusted" Web sites left?
Security experts are watching out for attacks that burrow through two new flaws, warning that the vulnerabilities are a bigger threat because of people's reliance on the targeted software.
