Erin Andrews peephole footage spreads Trojan

,----[ Quote ]
| Surfers who visit the malicious sites are exposed to either the Jahlav-C 
| Trojan horse on Macs, or the FakeAV-AY Trojan for Windows. In both cases, 
| muck-fixated punters are tricked into downloading malware that poses as a 
| video player supposedly needed to view footage of Andrews in her birthday 
| suit. Code running on the hacker-controlled websites determines which strain 
| of malware is offered up to visitors.
