Flash-Based Clipboard Attack Affects Digg!

clipboardextender.com — If you are browsing Digg and you find an unexpected link to "xp vista update dot net" appearing on your clipboard, you've been hit. I have included a screenshot of the bad ad (for "winning surveys"). The idea is to trick you into pasting their URL so that it will be picked up by others. Digg is not evil, but they need to monitor their ads!

  • WebWeaver64, on 08/26/2008, -0/+1I love that when I run into a problem, I have wonderful people online to turn to for the answer. I thought I was nuts there for a second.
