Malware parasites feed on PerezHilton.com gossip fans
The gossip news site PerezHilton.com has exposed recent visitors to malware, according to a cybersecurity alert.
California-based Cyphort Labs said that it had detected ads placed on the site being used to spread harmful code on two separate visits during one week.
The celebrity scandal site has not yet commented but was known to have suffered a similar problem last year.
Experts suggested users install ad-blocking plug-ins to defend themselves.
The phenomenon is known as "malvertising", and users do not have to click on the ads to find their device infected.
