Okay, well, as revealed in another post here on HN, the BBC has revealed that the Startup Britain website links you to a fake site stuffed with malware. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12904585 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12904585 "According to Paul Baccas, a senior threat researcher at Sophos, the link featured in an article about US investor Warren Buffet and took users to a fake banking site. ""It went to a third-party site, bankling.com, where users were redirected to a fake anti-virus page given a prompt saying their computer was infected and encouraging them to download a fix," he said. "In reality, the fix contained malware. "The exploit only affected users of Internet Explorer, including the most recent versions. Other browsers, including Firefox, were not affected. "The slip will be embarrassing for the government, especially as Prime Minister David Cameron had helped launch the site and the Number 10 website linked prominently to it." A small step forward, sure ... but I don't like the direction that step has taken us so far.
