Peaches Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Fox Sports Web Site InfectedRogue code injected to serve exploits By Lucian Constantin, Web News Editor Security researchers warn that the Fox Sports website has been compromised by unknown attackers, who injected malicious code into a custom error page.
