Adobe website infected with malware - 20/10/2008

• Adobe System's website was hosting malicious code that could infect visiting computers, said Sophos on Friday.
• The security firm first identified Mal/BadSrc-C, on the 'Vlog IT support center section' - an advice area for video bloggers - on Friday 3 October.
• Mal/BadSrc-C infects users with SQL injection attacks, which then download more malicious scripts from the net to infect victims with spyware.
• Sophos said that although it notified Adobe about the code, it was still present on the site until Thursday night.
• "Incidents like this show once again that even established and respected companies like Adobe are not immune from the growing tide of web-based malware attacks. These infections are insidious, meaning the most well-intentioned internet users can be hit without knowing it," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos.
