(Morton Fox) For six days last week, malware known as “malvertising” was reportedly lurking in Yahoo’s advertising network, with the potential for attackers to infect internet users’ computers and hold them for ransom. Security researchers say they notified Yahoo of the malware upon discovering it on Sunday, and the company removed the malicious code immediately. Researchers at Malwarebytes said they found the malicious ads embedded in Yahoo’s ads.yahoo.com network on Sunday and alerted Yahoo.
