NBC Websites Hacked To Serve Citadel Financial Malware

Multiple NBC websites were compromised by online attackers and used to launch drive-by attacks at visitors Thursday. Attackers appeared to have compromised the NBC websites using the RedKit attack toolkit. The malicious PDF file served up by the malware was recognized Friday morning by only six out of 46 antivirus software packages. The attack may be tied to having recently released Oracle and Adobe patches for multiple critical vulnerabilities in Java browser plug-in, or Adobe Reader. The attacks also infected some visitors with ZeroAccess malware, used to generate fake pay-per-click revenues for botnet controllers.”]
