Hi malware fighters,
Again a well known website from India has been hacked and abused to infect visitors with 0-day security holes for Windows. The IndiaTimes website tried to install at least 434 types of malware , some of which are not yet recognised by AV scanners. Even visitors with a fully updated and patched Windows system are/were vulnerable. Users of siteadvisor weren't warned the site was spreading malware:
