Hundreds of Thousands of Microsoft Web Servers Hacked
Hundreds of thousands of Web sites - including several at the United Nations and in the U.K. government – have been hacked recently and seeded with code that tries to exploit security flaws in Microsoft Windows to install malicious software on visitors’ machines.
Hackers have injected malicious code into hundreds of thousands of reputable web pages, turning them into launchpads for attacks that silently install malware on the machines of those who visit them. The UK's Civil Service and the United Nations were among those who had been hacked.
I know one thing when I was Hosting some web sites I always chose a unix/linux server to host it on never a windows one. Though that is no guarantee your site won’t be hacked I think it makes it that little bit harder.
we are going to see this over and over again when the current OS is not redesigned, I mean it is wrong from the outset what trust a common program can get to be able to do to an OS. So the programmers and developers have to come up with different code and then the “trust” system in Windows has been wrong from day one as well. That is why we have the situation we are in now. And this has nothing to do with normal user versus admin or system rights, no this is a phenomenon called POLO, that is about giving the lowest rights to a program and what it can do. If we do not do so. we will be chasing malware bytes forever,
