1. Scareware runs amok on PlayStation site - ENN

    Gamers visiting the US Sony PlayStation website risk malware infection after the site was hit by hackers.

    SQL injection vulnerabilities on the site were used by miscreants to load malicious code on pages showcasing the PlayStation games ‘SingStar Pop’ and ‘God of War’, net security firm Sophos reports.

    The code promotes scareware to visitors, which falsely claims that their computers are infected with computer viruses to frighten them into purchasing software of little or no security utility.
