Jamie Oliver website serves up a side of malware

Jamie Oliver’s website was affected by a malware issue, a spokesperson for the British celebrity chef has told the BBC.

SC Magazine explains that victims were redirected to a compromised WordPress website via a malicious iFrame injected into the celebrity chef’s personal website. The WordPress site would then redirect visitors to the landing page of the Fiesta Exploit kit – provided they were not using a VPN. The reasoning for this is said to be to avoid detection by security experts, who regularly use VPNs to cycle through different IP addresses.
