Jamie Oliver serves malware... again

Jamie Oliver website hit by malware for a third time

The website of British TV chef, Jamie Oliver has been hit for a third time by malware that potentially infects the computers of visitors to the site.

It is the third attack on JamieOliver.com in four months.

The security company that found the exploit, Malwarebytes... says the problem was caused by a link on the site redirecting users to what appears to be a compromised website that contains links to download the malicious code.

Victims without adequate security against such attacks could then find their PCs are compromised with a program running in the background which scans for and steals passwords, sending them on in a report to criminals behind the scam without the users' knowledge.

Malwarebytes said the best way web users could protect themselves from becoming a victim of such attacks was to keep their security software up-to-date.
