SkiifGeek writes "In news that was picked up by The Register, Sophos claims that they are detecting 6,000 new sites daily that have been compromised to serve malware to unsuspecting site visitors, with 80% of site owners not aware that they have been compromised (though this figure is probably on the low side).

With increasingly vocal arguments being put forward by security experts criticising the performance and capability of site validation tools (though many of these experts offer their own tools and services for similar capabilities) and rising levels of blended attacks, perhaps it is time you reviewed the security of your site and what might be hiding in infrequently used directories."
