Newest RIG exploit kit driven by malicious ads

Earlier this year, a disgruntled reseller leaked the source code for version 2.0
of the RIG exploit kit. Since then, the RIG's author has released a new version,
which was recently discovered by researchers from Trustwave. The latest version

1.25 million systems to date.
