Nigella Lawson hit by malware attack
Self-styled ‘domestic goddess’ Nigella Lawson may have exposed visitors to her web site to malware, after it was discovered that it had been compromised by hackers.
The site was hit by a Structured Query Language (SQL) attack and malware, including a Trojan, was installed.
The attack was made on July 14 and any visitors to her nigella.com domain may have picked up an infection if their browsers aren’t fully patched. Eldar Tuvey, chief executive of ScanSafe, which detected the attack, said “SQL injection attacks have become the most common form of website compromise, outpacing all other types of compromise by 212 per cent.”
