Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
MySpace may be the world's most visited website, according to analytics firm HitWise. However, more than one million of those visitors may have now got spyware and adware problems as a result of clicking on an errant banner advertisement posted on the site.
The banner ad, discovered by an analyst at security firm iDefense, was
posted by a site called deckoutyourdeck.com and exploited a flaw in
Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser which caused users to visit a
number of web sites and download adware and spyware.
The flaw exploited a hole in Internet Explorer, which has been patched
since January, which allowed a Trojan horse program to be downloaded
through a WMF image.
Once infected, users' machines receive unwanted pop-up ads and constant monitoring of their activity while online.
It is not entirely clear how a high profile web site such as MySpace
could enable an illegal advertisement containing malware to be served
to its pages from its network of ad servers.
