Of the more than 20,000 web pages affected by a massive internet attack which started earlier this week, security vendor Trend Micro's site was among the victims, embarassing as it may be. Infected sites attempt to install password-stealing programs with a special affinity for online video games onto viewers' computers. Mike Sweeny, a Trend Micro spokesman confirmed that the company's site had been hacked Thursday: "A portion of our site -- some pages were attacked," he said. "We took the pages down overnight Tuesday night -- and took corrective action." Although researchers are still puzzled as to how the attacks took place, the use of Microsoft's Active Server Page (ASP) technology seems to be a common trend among infected sites.

Nice way to pass the buck...
The Neowin summaries are often just the tip of the information iceberg, so to speak. You learn a lot more by following the link and reading the source article. Plus, it helps prevent you from jumping to incorrect conclusions.
But all this so they can get WOW usernames and passwords??

That is a misprint. It is supposed to read:

Humm, maybe you should check http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/CHANGES_2.0 & front page first post on www.php.net ?

do we have something like this for IIS??? oh!!! MS does not publish it.. may be????
I don't need an anti-virus and I do visit dodgy sites...why... you guessed it right... use *nix flavor of OS and you will be always grateful to yourself for the switch...
because those people don't even go on Trend Micro and i'm one of them.
I dont have any AV, no viruses, no nothing. 100% gurantee, willing to test that if i run norton right now with all updates and it will give u 0 viruses.
So saying "I don't need an anti-virus because I know how to use a computer and I don't visit dodgy sites"
is still valid because that would aek sense if Neowin got hacked and a virus cmae, then you cuold say that, but Trend Micro is a virus/av/etc associated site so u wouldnt be going there anyways.
So now, I laugh at you, as you sit in the corner like this:
That's nice.
