On June 30, 2009, The Washington Post posted an article regarding a new malicious piece of software that makes an effort to install a Trojan Horse on your machine when you're visiting certain websites. Basically, it takes advantage of Google's program of AdSense. Certain sites were hacked and seeded with code:
"Earlier this month, security experts at Websense warned that some 40,000 Web sites were hacked and seeded with code that bombards a visitor's PC with a virtual kitchen sink worth of browser exploits, all in an effort to install a Trojan horse program. Websense named this mass compromise "Nine-Ball," and the Trojan dropped on victimized PCs was thought to install a range of malicious software."
Slashdot has followed up to this article on their blog.
