Yahoo’s Right Media Serves Up Trojan Ads For Three Weeks
Yahoo feeds Trojan-laced ads to MySpace and PhotoBucket users from The Register reports that Yahoo's newly acquired Right Media served up ads with Trojan viruses for three weeks during the month of August.
The flash ads reportedly contained a file that installed a Trojan back door on vulnerable Windows machines running Internet Explorer. The ads ran on MySpace, PhotoBucket, TheSun.co.uk, Bebo.com and UltimateGuitar.com.
