Beware of this sneaky watering hole attack I just found
I've
been talking quite a
bit about watering hole attacks lately. If you haven't heard me talk
about it, a watering hole attack is where hackers slip malicious code
into a legitimate site. Learn why watering hole attacks are one of the biggest security threats of 2014.
For
example, Yahoo made the news recently after hackers got malicious code
into ads on the Yahoo home page and infected thousands of visitors. Read more about that attack here.
Well,
just yesterday as I was browsing the Internet gathering information for
the show, I stumbled across a watering hole. It opened a new tab in my
browser without me touching anything. And it displayed a very tricky
message; it even got me to do a double take.
I
did some research and this same message is suddenly showing up for a
lot of people. You need to know what it says before it tricks you.
