Flash Used to Push Malware
Virus Bulletin reported in January and February about instances of Flash ads used to push malware.
From VB:
According to Trend Micro researchers, the Expedia site was infiltrated by a variant of the SWF.AdHijack family - clicking on the ad led to a number of redirections, which eventually resulted in the installation of a piece of rogue anti-spyware detected by Trend as TROJ_GIDA.A.The malicious ad found on the Rhapsody site similarly redirected users to a page that attempted to install a bogus program on the user's machine by reporting a (non-existent) system infection, and then urging them to purchase the software needed to 'clean' the infections.
