Quote:
Malicious hackers have managed to infect about 57,000 web pages with a potent exploit cocktail that targets a variety of vulnerable applications to surreptitiously install malware on visitor machines.

The exploits install an assortment of nasty software, including Gologger, a keystroke logging trojan, and a backdoor that attempts to connect to a website hosted in China [more]
One reason why its ALWAYS SAFER to have scripts disabled!!

Yeah great idea, let's all turn off our script preprocessors and return to the 1990s
