Adobe Sites Hit by Malware
Just weeks after a BusinessWeek Web site was hit by an SQL injection (define) attack, comes news that Adobe has had to deal with two of its Web sites compromised the same way.
"I can confirm that the Adobe sites were affected," Richard Wang, manager of the US offices of security vendor Sophos Laboratories, told InternetNews.com. Sophos discovered the compromised sites.
Adobe did not respond to requests for comment by press time. Wang said after Sophos contacted Adobe, the software company said issues at both of its Web sites had been cleaned up; a statement confirmed by Sophos in a follow up check that found them "clean" and no longer at risk. Security experts told InternetNews.com that the increasing use of Web 2.0 capabilities are making such attacks commonplace, and that hackers are tweaking their tools to better hone their attacks.
