looks like one of myspace's advertisers inserted trojans in everyone's pages :)

watch ratio's drop the next few days lol

ouch....:(

Doh! Rupert...how could you? :disgust

That's just sad. You'd think a company as big as Myspace would have better security over their ads

MySpace sucks.

a lot of people have zango on their myspace pages too.

ouch you could use a network like that to DDOS a site hmmmmm

bloody hell!

That SUCKS. Good thing for Firefox

Sue Tom...:2 cents:

This is your fault Mr. Security officer. WTF are they paying you for? Free blow jobs in the mens room?>

Good ole IE. haha

the bigger the site the more potential problems

What's that? Myspace installs Trojans on millions?!?

Well, at least the surfers will be having safe sex now...

damn that sucks

Rupert is cool. I used to work for him in London. I saw him interviewed last night for about an hour. Great info about his plans for MySpace and the future of media in general. For 75 he is still one sharp cookie. :thumbsup

Damn myspace and Tom

If every GFYer deleted Tom as a friend from every MySpace account they own, I think that would sent a powerful message. :1orglaugh

that sucks!

Hey I just signed up to your program. Can u approve me?

damn thats crazy!

kind of. its all about the partners you keep right , i guess one of their ad partners screwed them. could happen to anyone. if a vengefull tech wanted to make yahoo or google ads install trojans they could :) so could one of gfy's advertisers :) not much you can do about it security wise without removing functionality :) as soon as you put an offsite script on your site , your basically trusting everything on that network just the same as if it were your own.

eowwww, part of advertisements...

not good...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I don't think it will effect their traffic that much. Most People just don't care.

When you are using one of the leading advertising firm you trust them to do the job...

Do most MySpace users even know what a Trojan is?

exploited a flaw in the way Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) browser handles Windows Metafile (WMF) image files

Figures. Too bad for them I don't use IE. Hell, I'm not even on that shit ass system they call Windows.

hahhahahahahahhahaha

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

so they must be making some nice $ from the popups they generate lol

thats crazy....

:1orglaugh

Damn, OUCH

People still use Windows and IE?

And, it's a crime to exploit bugs in MS software? It should be considered free education for MS users. A stupid tax, if you will.

wow.........

the majority of people do.

Firefox wouldnt have helped , at the time this exploit was wild firefox had just as open holes :)

I'd be willing to wager that Firefox + OSX Tiger would do the trick. :winkwink:
