What is Digg?5 Comments
- bstory, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Something similar happened to me yesterday and I spent hours looking for infected files only to find that I wasn't infected.

And if your savy enough to pull up a Firebug trace or at the very least the source code from the page. For Digg to remove this they will need at least this basic info to be able to locate a rogue advertiser, especially if a seemingly innocent looking ad is running the code to pull the Antifirus 2009 creative and subsequent popup.

Still, it is very unethical. I can't image Digg will allow them to advertise on their site once they catch wind of this.

It has to be injected into the ads. Anyone else seeing weird sh*t like this? I also read this happened to Google's Adsense network.

Apparently many sites were affected by this (including Digg according to the article)
