The senior security researcher with Websense Labs, Elad Sharf, admits that while rogue AV is old hat these days it's obviously still a money-making exercise and one that turns enough profit for the bad guys for them to keep plodding away at it. "With such a high number of compromised web pages and websites in this on-going campaign, it's evident these scams are still working. Websense Security Labs has been following this mass injection campaign for months and we've seen over 200k web pages and close to 30k unique websites compromised" Sharf says, adding "vulnerable websites are a rich source of opportunity for cybercriminals".
