WhatsApp bug opens door to spyware with just a phone call
WhatsApp patches a flaw that has been used to install spyware on Android and iPhone devices.
Servers used to show adverts on a popular YouTube to MP3 conversion website have been compromised in order to spread the GreenFlash exploit kit and Seon ransomware.
Malvertising is a technique used by hackers and scammers to reach a wide audience, often on legitimate domains and services. Malicious code or links will be embedded within an advertisement which is then displayed to unwitting website visitors, and should they click the link, they may be directed to a fraudulent website or be issued a malicious payload.
