Malvertising, HuffingtonPost was serving Malware via AOL Ad-Network

Security company Cyphort has discovered a malvertising campaign that targeted several websites via the AOL Ad-Network, including the Huffington Post. The attackers exploited the AOL ad network to run the malicious campaign. The researchers suspect that the exploit kit served by the cyber criminals could be the Neutrino kit or the Sweet Orange kit. The malicious ads came via advertising networks that belong to AOL, said Nick Bilogorskiy, director of security research at Cyphorts. We dont know exactly how it got there. One possibility is that AOL itself has been breached.”]
