The website for the open-source database was hacked and used to serve malware to visitors. Visitors with out-of-date browsers or unpatched versions of Adobe Flash, Reader or Java on their PCs could have been quietly infected with malicious software. Security vendor Armorize noticed the problem at around 5 a.m. Pacific Time Monday. The issue had been cleaned up, but the malicious code was on the site for less than a day, a security expert says.
