Title: Malicious Ads Infect Thousands of European Yahoo Users Post by: HCK on January 07, 2014, 02:00:21 pm Malicious Ads Infect Thousands of European Yahoo Users
Certain advertisements on Yahoo's European website may have helped infect thousands of computers with malware. A Dutch computer security firm, Fox-IT, outed Yahoo last Friday, penning a blog post claiming that attackers had used ads.yahoo.com to insert malicious ads. Fox-IT was apparently on to something, because on Sunday, Yahoo admitted to hosting ads that didn't "meet our editorial guidelines."
