The malware spamming out CNN alerts is now picking on MSNBC. The links do lead to malware advise your users not to click on them! I have seen hundreds this morning, and a number of readers have written in about them.The headlines vary, but they all appear to start "BREAKING NEWS". Cheers,

And it's the same group as were sending out the CNN alerts, because the hijacked servers are the same, with the same page and exploit. (http://www.vivtek.com/projects/despammed/stormspam.html)

Aaaand now the landing pages have switched to MSNBC-themed pages instead of CNN-themed. The structure is otherwise identical, though. (Well, instead of the asvoo.org antivirus popup, they now have an i56web.org antivirus popup. But otherwise identical exploits.)
