Drive-By Download Sites Chauffeur Spyware
Paul F. Roberts writes in eWeek:
Increasingly, spyware is making its way onto users' systems through so-called drive-by-download sites using nefarious methods that circumvent disclosure.
One example is iFrameDollars.biz, which claims to be a Web site affiliate company just for drive-by sites, using a model similar to aboveboard affiliate networks such as Commission Junction and LinkShare.
The Web domain, which is registered to an individual named "Vasiliy Pupkin" at an apparently fictional address, has been active since December 2004 and makes no secret of its owner's desire to leverage browser exploits (in this case, the popular iFrame browser exploit) to make money.
