Geek.com Hacked, Infects Visitors with Malware!

Geek.com is one of the oldest technology news websites around, dating back to 1996, the dawn of the commercial World Wide Web. Attackers have managed to inject rogue IFrames into different portions of the site, both within articles and the site’s main pages like home, about us, etc. Drive-by download attacks are very dangerous because in most cases they are completely transparent to victims. The most commonly used applications like Java Runtime Environment, Flash Player, Adobe Reader or browser itself are usually targeted.
