Web Attacks Using Blog Traffic Exchanges
This is a theoretical, but something I just thought about.
There are a few attacks of late that can infect your machine (or outright own your machine) by getting you to go to a webpage that installs “evil” code on your machine. Some of these will use images that can have this “evil” code in it, some just silently installs when you go to a wrong webpage.
The problem with those kind of things is how to get people to go to the malicious webpage. Enter blog traffic exchanges (or any traffic exchange for that matter). Here you have people surf random sites which can include bad images or bad code imbedded (or the bad image could be a banner ad).
Think what would happen if you did this to say, blogexplosion and their memberships… lots’o'infections… assuming your bad code worked to begin with…
