+-   Adobe Flash Ads Launching Clipboard Hijack Attacks on Tuesday August 19 2008, @12:38PM bullyBEEF

bullyBEEF writes "Malicious hackers are using booby-trapped Flash banner ads to hijack clipboards for use in rogue security software attacks. In the Web attacks, which target Mac, Windows and Linux users running Firefox, IE and Safari, hackers are seizing control of the machine's clipboard and using a hard-to-delete URL that points to a fake anti-virus program. The attack has been seen on several legitimate sites — including Newsweek, Digg and MSNBC.com. Researcher Aviv Raff offers a harmless demo of how it's done."
