A recent survey published by Imperva conducted amongst 179 IT professionals, which showed 43 percent think they could carry out a successful covert cyberattack on their own company.

Kaspersky’s main.js script is designed to display green checkmarks if it thinks the link leads to a clean website. However, its injection into the local HTML source code of users could have opened them to tracking.
