I'd just like to take the time to point out, that this is a direct link to a compromised page.

Sure, the message is championing a tragic victim, but do you see how this isn't exactly the wisest move?

Do I need to call attention to the recent Java zero-day exploit?

Who runs java?


Everyone at MIT (required to do a bunch of kerberos related shit)


As if no other software has 0days.


Well, it's just an example. When a page is still compromised, and under the control of someone unexpected, you can't really anticipate the state of the page, and what it might deliver to your computer. I pointed that one out because it's a pretty recent drive-by exploit. You dig?
