Hacked Kaspersky server deploys scareware
 
Last Sunday, for a period of almost four hours, the US site of anti-virus vendor Kaspersky (kasperskyusa.com) deployed scareware on visitors' computers. When asked about the incident by the media, Kaspersky confirmed that it was indeed attacked. Users trying to download anti-virus products were redirected to an external page which pretended to perform a virus scan in a bogus "Windows Explorer" browser window. The page also tried to simulate an infection and scare visitors into downloading a program.
