Posted on November 23, 2004 under Tech

Online intruders breached the security of at least one server at advertising host Falk this weekend and used the computer to distribute an attack to the service’s clients, including The Register, a technology news and opinion site.
In a nutshell, after breaching the server’s security, hackers managed to put up malicious code disguised as banner ads. Isn’t that nice?
