Super Bowl site hacked
A visitor to the site with an unpatched Windows machine will connect to a remote server registered to a nameserver in China and download a Trojan keylogger/backdoor that gives the attacker full access to the compromised computer.

Another problem ... but I'd still like to see a hacker plug the infected pc back in ... after the plug's been pulled ... lol

Good luck running scripts on my computer. I use Firefox with NoScript, plus Avast Antivirus which has it's own plugins for detecting bad scripts and keyloggers, plus Outpost Firewall on top of that, plus a hardware firewall appliance. Any keylogger or backdoor that needs access to a port, will have to ask me for access first to the port. I'm not saying my setup will stop everything 100%, but it should be somewhat secure. Better than a lot of systems.
