Stony Stevenson writes "A security firm has identified over 10,000 web pages rigged by cyber-criminals to hijack the PCs of unsuspecting surfers. The web pages have been modified to silently redirect visitors to sites laden with malware that attempt to break into the user's PC. The malware cocktail attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in Windows, RealPlayer and other applications to break into the PC. A back door also allows the subsequent installation of additional malicious programs. A single entity is likely to be behind this attack, since the malicious code on all these pages came from the same server in China."
