As many as 70,000 websites have been compromised by hackers in the last week with a malicious iframe that can redirect site visitors to other sites containing Trojan malware.

Security researchers at ScanSafe said the affected websites are mostly based in China, Canada, the UK and India. Some of the compromised sites include feedzilla.com, latindiscover.com and a number of charitable and nursing facilities, including howellcarecenter.com, sweetgrassvillagealf.com, foodsresourcebank.org and morningsideassistedliving.com.

Mass compromises of legitimate websites through an attack known as SQL injection have spiked upward as of April, according to security researchers at Google.
