OpenX Ad Server hit by Hackers in Adobe Attack
Over the past week, hackers have exploited flaws in popular open-source advertising software to place malicious code on advertisements on several famous Web sites. Using a pair of bugs in the OpenX advertising software the attackers logged in to advertising servers and placed malicious code on ads being served on the sites. Web based attacks are a favorite way for cyber-criminals to install their malicious software and this latest round of hacks shows how ad server networks can become useful conduits for attack. However OpenX said that it was aware of “no major vulnerabilities associated with the current version of the software in either its downloaded or hosted forms,”, but we still recommend to keep an eye out for updates.
