This is perhaps my most important discovery of malware embedded sites farm in a while, at least in respect to the potential impact it is currently having on the unprotected visitors browsing the sites of Possibility Media's portfolio of online magazines, which are pretty weird content by themselves. Possibility Media's (now owned by GM Media Worldwide Inc.) 24 online publications are currently serving embedded malware in the form of IFRAMEs on each and every domain, a logical development given they're all hosted on a single server (216.251.43.11).

The affected domains include the following e-zines :
    networkweekmag.com - Network Week Magazine
    portablecomputingmag.com - Portable Computing Magazine
    businesscomputingmagazine.com - Business Computing Magazine
    communicationsworldmag.com - Communications World Magazine
    spweekly.com - Service Provider Weekly
    webweekmag.com - Web Week Magazine
    pcnewsweeklymag.com - PC News Weekly
    itweekmagazine.com - IT Week Magazine
    communicationsweekmag.com - Communication Week Magazine
    ipworldmag.com - IP World Magazine
    networkweekmag.com - Network Week Magazine
    thebestpcmag.com - The Best PC
    technologyweekmag.com - Technology Week Magazine
    theinternetstandardmag.com - The Internet Standard
    securitystandardmag.com - Security Standard
    theitstandard.com - The IT Standard
    hostingweekmag.com - Hosting Week
    enterpriseweekmag.com - Enterprise Week
    computernewsmagazine.com - Computer News
