Warning: malvertizement at Yahoo Groups!
Edit: the malvertizement has been removed from circulation
Here it is, in situ - it is familiar, yes?
This is the URL of the malvertizement:
eur.a1.yimg.com/java.europe.yahoo.com/eu/any/yahoonew728x90.swf
The malicious SWF leads us to:
adtds2.promoplexer.com/statsa.php?campaign=yahoo
And:
track.trackads.net/statsa.php?campaign=yahoo
Any other site that uses Yahoo advertising (Yahoo mail, or Ebay for example) could potentially expose visitors to the malvertizement and fraudware sites.
