Presentation - Analyzing Web Malware In its "State of Internet Security Q3/Q4 2008", Websense reported that 70% of the top 100 websites either hosted malicious content or contained a masked redirect to compromised websites. Most recently, gumblar.cn successfully injected redirects into upwards of 3,000 websites. Analyzing web-based malicious content can be time-consuming and complex.
