The irony is thick here. CSO is reporting that antivirus vendor AvSoft’s website has been compromised, and is serving up malware. This can’t look good to the neighbors…
The download section of AvSoft’s S-cop Web site hosts the malicious code, according to Roger Thompson, chief research officer with security vendor AVG. “They let one of their pages get hit by an iFrame injection,” he said. “It shows that anyone can be a victim. … It’s hard to protect Web servers properly.”
