Dirty Tricksters Plant a Virus on BO.com


I actually find this kind of amusing, since it was a benign attack. I didn't try to log into Obama's blog site today, but apparently a trickster managed to post some code that was redirecting visitors over to HRC's site.  As noted in the article I linked, the HRC site has an identical vulnerability that was exploited here, so before folks start pointing fingers at the Clinton campaign, consider how silly it would be to intentionally exploit a flaw that you leave open for exploitation on your own site.  Glad to see nothing truly nefarious ensued.

Ah, they should have redirected the HRC site to the Obama site. Would have been a fun perpetual redirect loop.

Ha! That would have been more fun, for sure!
