2013-02-25: Speedtest.net Served Malware To Visitors

Level Three Attack

Security vendor Invincea reports that Speedtest.net was serving malware to (potentially) a large number of visitors. This attack used a java-based exploit.

They suspect that the relatively obscure exploit package being used was targetted for "malvertising", which leads users to landing pages that might convince them to install "rogue antivirus software".
