[QUOTE]Websites operated by the US Treasury Department are redirecting
visitors to websites that attempt to install malware on their PCs, a
security researcher warned on Monday.

The infection buries an invisible iframe in bep.treas.gov,
moneyfactory.gov, and bep.gov that invokes malicious scripts from
grepad.com, Roger Thompson, chief research officer of AVG
Technologies, told The Register. The code was discovered late Sunday
night and was active at time of writing, about 12 hours later.[/QUOTE]
