ATTACK OF

"THE INVISIBLES"

The invisibles are upon us, and have been for many years. They are silent, crafty, and sneak through your anti-virus program in front of your very eyes. One researcher has even named them "Zombie Browsers", and they don't come cheap.

Zoltan Balazs, spoke to a crowd at the "Hacker Halted" conference in Miami, as was astounded by what he found. According to Zoltan only 10 of these infected browser extensions had been known to exist, but this year they have found 49 new ones! "It's skyrocketing," Balazs noted, and he faulted the antivirus vendors for allegedly not addressing the issue at all, claiming that even after two years Anti-Virus companies had yet to act.

While Internet Explorer wasn't mentioned, he did name Safari, Firefox, and Chrome in regard to these extensions the mis-direct the user to a website which will add to their woes. Read the article by Ellen Messmer HERE.
