Hackers install maleware on Alicia Keys MySpace Page

MySpace pages of several musicians, including the personal page of R&B songstress Alicia Keys, were targeted this week by hackers. Experts warn that they're now very dangerous places to visit online.

Among the attacks being served by Keys' page (and those of French funk band Greements of Fortune and Scottish rock band the Dykeenies) are Trojan horses disguised as new video codecs.

When someone tries to access one of the hacked sites, an exploit first attempts to install malware on the visitor's computer. If that doesn't work, the user is next asked to install a fake codec to view a video posted on the page, according to the Times.
