Superbowl Hack

As Super Bowl XLI looms large, what is the most potent attack we will see this weekend? Peyton Manning's laser-accurate throws and precision wideouts? Defensive powerhouses Lance Briggs and Brian Urlacher? Adam Vinateiri's clutch kicking? Chicago special teams rookies Robbie Gould and Devin Hester?

How about a malicious JavaScript code that could leave your computer exposed and vulnerable? The website for Joe Robbie Pro-Player Dolphin Stadium has been hacked and a Trojan keylogger placed on it.

The www.dolphinsstadium.com and www.miamidolphins.com sites are affected by the attack, as are mirror copies of those sites, such as www.proplayerstadium.com. Security experts strongly advise Web surfers to avoid these sites until the compromise is contained.
The NFL's Superbowl.com Web site is not affected by the hack, Thompson said.

Ryan Naraine at ZDNet says in a 17:15 update today:

All the affected Miami Dolphins sites... have now been disinfected but there is evidence that hundreds of other sites have been hijacked and rigged with the malicious JavaScript code. I've confirmed that the one-line code has been planted on an internal page of the U.S. government's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Health Marketing site.
