Banner ads promoting a notorious group of computer attackers known as Fluffi Bunni today appeared at SecurityFocus.com, after the hackers compromised a server operated by the leading security firm's advertising partner. The ad banner depicted the hacking group's mascot, a pink stuffed toy rabbit, and the words "You think you know? You have no idea," and was signed "Security Fluffi."

According to SecurityFocus Vice President of Engineering Alfred Huger, the attackers breached the ad serving system operated by Thruport Technologies at around 7 a.m. E.S.T. The bogus ads appeared on various pages of the SecurityFocus site for a period of several hours before the security firm modified the code in its Web pages and began serving its own ads, Huger said.
