Possible malware in ad

[g33x0R]

I just got a notification that my Java plugin was out of date. I don't have one. The banner ad wanted me to download a `setup.exe' to update my [non-existent] Jave plugin. I didn't, and I suggest you don't either.

There was previous mention of hackers renting banner ads on legit sites, with the intent to install malware and/or adware on unsuspecting users' machines. IIRC, this usually happened during the weekend, so the admins won't notice anything wrong until Monday.

On mornings like this, I ♥ Linux.


Cheers,
Patrick.
