The security firm says that: ‘Other popular websites that redirected to adnxs.com were gaming-related sites (wowhead . com, gsn . com, zam . com, wiki . com), news sites (dailymail . co . uk) as well as internet portals like msn . com.’
If there’s any good news, it’s that ‘the campaign seems to have ended quiet fast,’ while F-Secure boasts that during the malvertisement’s ‘active campaign,’ F-Secure says its users were ‘protected against this threat as we detect Angler as Exploit:JS/AnglerEK.D.’
