Amnesty International Site Serving Java Exploit Krebs on Security

Amnesty Internationals UK homepage in the United Kingdom is currently serving malware that exploits a recently-patched vulnerability in Java. Security experts say the attack appears to be part of a nefarious scheme to target human rights workers. The site’s home page has been booby trapped with code that pulls a malicious script from an apparently hacked automobile site in Brazil. The attack is not particularly popular its global rank is 90,203 according to Alexa.com but the chances are good that the attackers behind this are not after financial data.”]
