Days after Google acted to thwart the Santy worm, security firms warned that variants have begun to spread again using both Google and other search engines.
With one new Web site compromised every 14 seconds, including some of the biggest names, it's almost impossible to tell what's a "trustworthy" Web site. But who's at fault for exposing Internet users?
