Java Update Virus Injection

This is a new virus injection from a hacked site.  I was at a respectable site when all of a sudden, a notice popped up saying that I had to update my java.  I was on a static site and it looked suspicious.  Without clicking on the update link, it never came from Oracle/Java but rather from a domain called Upkendint, which I traced to Panama.

You really have to be careful these days and verify that what you clicking was actually sent by the entity that they say they are.

Caution.
