Oh, the irony Malware spread via Best of the Web security seals

The script used by Best of the Web to display its trust seal on customers’ websites got hacked. The supply-chain security breach saw the seal compromised by two keystroke loggers. Security expert Thomas Reed: “I wish they would all simply go away, and quit giving people false security” The security breach was discovered by researcher Willem de Groot, who discovered the breach in a blog post published by Bleeping Computer. The company is now conducting a security audit of its hosted accounts to ensure that this does not happen again.”]
