Why I Never Click on Web Advertisements

Monster.com Shuts Down Rogue Server

Last week, researchers at SecureWorks found a server containing data from 46,000 people that was stolen by hackers running ads on job hunting sites and injecting those ads with a Trojan.

When a user views or clicks on one of the malicious ads, their PC is infected and all the information that enters into their browser—such as financial information entered before it reaches SSL protected sites—is captured and sent off to servers used by the hackers, SecureWorks officials said.

Just some food for thought. Thanks RB for pointing this out...
