[!] Malvertising campaign hit Adult Site xHamster



Quote:
We identified a malvertising campaign taking place on adult site xHamster (Alexa rank #68, est. 514 million visitors/month according to SimilarWeb) that abused ad provider TrafficHaus and Google?s URL shortener service.

This incident reminds us of a similar one that happened at the end of January also involving the same ad network.

Simply going on xHamster?s website could infect a PC if the browser or one of its plugins was not up to date. We notified TrafficHaus which responded immediately to shutdown the malicious ad, helping to limit the number of victims.

The redirection chain used by the criminals was quite effective in that it only strikes one time per IP address and cleverly hides itself within an innocuous piece of code.
