Two websites operated by the BBC have been infected by iFrame attacks and could be serving up malware, according to researchers

The BBC-6 Music site and areas of the BBC 1Xtra radio station site are affected, according to a blog by researchers at Websense. The injected iFrame occurs at the foot of the BBC 6 Music Web page, and loads code from a site in the .co.cc top-level domain, Websense says. The iFrame injected into the Radio 1Xtra Web page leads to the same malicious site.

"If an unprotected user browsed to the site, they would be faced with drive-by downloads, meaning that simply browsing to the page is enough to get infected with a malicious executable," Websense says.
