DailyMotion served Angler exploit kit to visitors, over 128 million users placed at risk
Popular streaming website DailyMotion has become the latest victim of malicious ad networks and has delivered malware payloads to potentially millions of visitors.
The French video sharing and streaming website recently became a subject of interest to researchers at security firm Malwarebytes.
In a blog post, the team said they have been tracking a malvertising campaign sent via .eu websites for several days, but were missing the final piece of the puzzle.
Now, the team have managed to reproduce a live infection via an advert hosted on DailyMotion, which holds
the 98th position in Alexa's top 100 websites ranking. According to ComScore, the website caters for at least 128 million unique visitors per month.
