The site appears to have been infected with Iframes injection exploit, a form of criminal attack that diverts users to malicious content.

"The Iframes code insertion points to a malware-infected server in Poland, which has been pre-loaded with the Fiesta attack toolkit," Finjan's Chief Technology Officer Yuval Ben-Itzhak, who authored the blog, mentioned in a statement.

Ben-Itzhak also stated that the Fiesta automated malware infection toolkit sells for around 300 dollars between hackers and is known to be successful when it comes to infiltrating systems that use Internet Explorer.

When triggered against a user's PC, Fiesta attempts seven different attack methodologies against Internet Explorer and is usually successful in infecting the user's computer.
