What does the attack do for those who visited the site trying to figure out what was going on?


The malicious script only inserted an iframe with a broken link, so I wouldn't worry to much.


I would still worry a bit. Some hackers will show a broken link if you're accessing a page directly with no referrers, for example. But if you come in with a referrer or from a search engine, then they might return the malware payload.

If a site was showing up recently in our malware list, it's practically certain that an actual user downloaded malware via the site.
