Home page of Australia's largest telecommunications company Telstra has been infected with 'malvertising' which links a malicious exploit kit.
Malvertising (a portmanteau of malicious and advertising) is a form of distributing ‘injected' malware into legitimate online advertising.
A malvertisement appearing to show a Lamborghini Gallardo for sale, actually contained a link to redirect users (via Google's own URL shortener) to a separate website where a Nuclear exploit kit payload was lying in wait - the payload in this case was a banking Trojan.
