The National Journal website was discovered serving iFrame-based redirects to the Fiesta/NeoSploit exploit kit that targeted multiple Java vulnerabilities (CVE-2012-0507, CVE-2012-1723 and a Java 7 Update 11 serialization bypass), resulting in ZeroAccess rootkit and FakeAV infections; the compromise is characterized as a possible watering-hole campaign aimed at Washington D.C. political audiences.
