Malicious Communist Hack

According to security company Sophos the web site of the British Communist Party has been compromised and is serving malware.



Thousands of web sites have been hacked in recent weeks for similar reasons. The code on the web site is modified to execute malicious JavaScript code, identified by Sophos as Mal/Iframe-F.

t's a good idea to avoid the site for now. but it's as good an idea to avoid any of the other tens of thousands of compromised sites, and you don't know what they are. So the only real answer is to keep your browser and security software up to date.
