The Washington Post was reported to have said that consumers making efforts to reach a few legal sites could be getting bug-ridden with pernicious software while ads at Google are clicked on by them. The software is claimed to make an attempt to commit theft of passwords and additional personal or private info from bug-ridden computers," said by the article at the Washington Post. Google has reportedly confiscated the ads. In accordance with a report at Exploit Prevention Labs, whilst the top sponsored links that appeared prior this week while users looked for "BBB," "BBBonline" or "Cars.com" came into view to guide visitors to those sites, they at first would make way for people who clicked on the ads via an intermediary site. The intermediary site tried to exploit flaw in Microsoft Windows to stealthily put in software developed to commit theft of passwords and other sensitive info from bug-ridden computers. The hackers exploited a vulnerability in Microsoft’s IE Web browser, a trouble for which a patch to fix was already announced by the company in last June.
