arstechnica.com — We've already seen two Storm attacks this week aimed at capitalizing on the holiday season. Now, a new Javascript exploit is migrating partially by linking itself to information on Benazir Bhutto's assassination.

Either that, or like Mac viruses, the market share for other search engines isn't high enough to justify optimizing for their algorithm.

Who the heck is Benazir Bhutto? I'm too afraid to Google her/him out of fear of malware.

Possible. My point wasn't that Yahoo & Live had been smart enough not to fail for the malware's trap, but more that I thought that if one was targetting Google, he would also target other engines as collateral damage. It's really interesting that, as you say, hitting other search engines that Google would require an *optimization*. Good to see that the other engines are just not copying the big G's results.

That doesn't even make sense?! Microsoft will be gone by then. How will he get his activation key?!
