<<< Wednesday, May 11, 2011 Pravda hacked Posted by Mikko @ 08:14 GMT | Comments English website of a major Russian newspaper Pravda (??????, ie “The Truth”) has been hacked.
There are no visible changes done to the site. Instead, the page silently loads exploit scripts that try to infect the user via vulnerabilities in Java. If succesful, the visitors computer gets hit by a bot that allows outsiders to access and use the computer.
An attack like this is particularly devious. An end user might go to the same news website every morning for years, learning to trust it. Then one day it has become dangerous and will take over your computer, just by opening your favourite page.
