Be Careful Out There


» The dark side of search engines:
"Here are some examples of recent queries where the wrong choice results in an exploitive website:

“music without voice” — if you make the wrong choice, you get a WebAttacker2-infected website

“famous cubists” — wrong choice gets a WebAttacker2

“florida baptist churches” — the wrong choice gets a website infected with an MDAC exploit

“court instruments” — the wrong choice finds a Web site that links to a known rootkitter.

So what does the future hold?

The bad guys understand that while firewalls do a pretty good job of keeping out network worms, web browsers start from inside the firewall, and therefore create an instant tunnel right through the firewall."
