PHP.net Compromised 189
An anonymous reader writes "The open source PHP project site was compromised earlier today. The site appears to have been compromised and had some of its Javascript altered to exploit vulnerable systems visiting the website. Google's stop-badware system caught this as well and flagged php.net as distributing malware, warning users whose browsers support it not to visit the site. The comment by a Google employee over at the hacker news thread (official Google webmaster forum thread) seems to suggest that php.net wasn't incorrectly flagged."

It's Microsoft's fault. The URL for PHP is php.net, which means it's .NET and hence the reason for being compromised.
The malware was distributed via Javascript, which has Java in its name, which means it's also Oracle's fault.

Here's a better URL [dilbert.com] without all the superfluous Web 2.0 crap around it.
