UK Communist website abused by Chinese hackers The website of the Communist Party Of Britain has been infected with malicious code. Infection by the iFrame-F script coincided with local and European election in the UK, marking a time when the minority party website would have had far more visitors than normal. The affected file on the website is associated with serving up …
This may not have anything to do with the websites's content. For example, several large hosting services have been recently attacked from China. A line of javascript was inserted into pages, calling an Adobe Flash exploit. For example:
<SCRIPT src="Sputnik_files/avqwb_cn.swf"></SCRIPT>
I recommend running the Secunia scanner, since recent hackers seem to be targetting Flash, Quicktime and the Java runtime.

Supposedly the code targets Windows machines only. Windows is, as everyone knows, a hard-core capitalist OS. So the chaps browsing the commie website from a windows machine are obviously capitalist spies hell-bent to sabotage the People's aspirations to a better life. Hence the malware, embedded deep on the site by the webmaster, through a proxy on China (to dodge the legal spat).
Prove me wrong
CPGB - old Russia lovers, although they would deny it (Russian funding did come out in the 80's, much to their embarrassment).
RCPB(ML) - We love Albania, oh shit, what have we said?
(We used to love Mao but he was a revisionist who turned his back on Albania so he must be wrong) R generally stands for revolutionary and the ML means Marxist-Leninist (as in we started out pro China before we weren't).
RCP - became Living Marxism, became spiked!
Of them all I think only spiked would have the brains to do anything with multi media.
I bet there's more.
I can prove you right.
From the name of the infection we can tell it is an Apple construct, originating from their eastern development centre at Commi-tino.
Apple, as we all know, has trademarked all applications of a lower-case "i" followed by a capital letter, and if Apple wasn't involved then these hackers would also be guilty of trademark infringement.
I for one find that hard to believe, because they wouldn't want to face the wrath of those hard-line Chinese trademark cops!
