PSA: VFW.Org Attacked by Foreign Malware

 
A recent report from The Verge indicates that VFW dot Org has recently been the target of a Chinese malware attack.  The attack was aimed at getting US Military Personnel information.  The user, upon visiting the website, would likey have no idea that their computer systems were under attack:
 

Using a tactic known as a watering-hole attack, the group used a previously unpublished exploit in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 10 to seed malware onto computers visiting VFW.org through an open iFrame window in the background. “Based on the targeting preferences, we suspect the attacker was looking for intelligence located on US military personnels’ systems,” said FireEye’s Darien Kindlund. If the visitor had any sensitive information elsewhere on their computer, that data would be exposed to the attackers.

 
If you frequently visit the VFW Website, please be aware of this technology threat.  And stay tuned to the OVFCC blog for updates on when the problem will be fixed.
