"An ad company that Yahoo owns, Right Media, served up some particular
advertisements several million times that ended up being loaded with
Trojans. These ads, while all over the Internet, were most prominently
featured on MySpace and PhotoBucket – not shady warez sites.
The issues began last month, and according to ScanSafe the articles were seen many, many times:
The banner ads, which were brokered by Right Media, were served
an estimated 12 million times over a three-week period starting in
early August, according to ScanSafe, a managed security provider.
Earlier this year, Yahoo paid $650m to acquire the 80 percent of the
company it didn't already own. "
